Quick Observation
We headed up to the Summit WX to do a bit of troubleshooting on the RH and Temp gauge. Seems to be working well now, but time will tell.. We dug a couple pits in the ridge below to see what's going on with the crust and facets that lay below. Firstly.. Highly variable in all regards. Snowpack height varies from 130-240cm. Melt freeze crust varies from 1-10cm on the surface. Would make for terrible skiing. Facets/our PWL are 80-120cm below the surface. We got hard sudden planer compression test results on the upper facet interface. Seems like low probability, but very high consequence out there. We'll be keeping a wide berth from any shallower areas or convexities for awhile.
