Snowpack
Stability tests and profile done on a southeasterly aspect at 6,800 to represent thinner areas of snowpack. Stability tests failed below upper crust layer on rounding facets (ECTN15/CT14Q2) roughly 8" below the snowpack surface. While no signs of instability were observed we have all the proper ingredients to create slab avalanches if Wednesday's weather forecast holds true above 5,500.
