Quick report

Collapsing
specific

E and NE slopes heavily wind loaded, SW slopes wind scoured. Isolated column test fractured just over 1m down with a minimal tap on a 40°test slopes facing E . Distinct hard layer at fracture point easily gave way with so much dense snow on top. Orange tab is top of a 2.4m probe fully inserted. We skied a shallow E slope avoiding dense trees at about 25-30° that skied well on top with no signs of weakness.
