CAIC Observation Report

air temp (F): 36; cloud cover: clear; wind loading: moderate; recent snowfall (cm): 55; snow avail for transport: moderate amounts

We observed a weak layer under the new snow we received in the last week or so. The "Christmas crust" is still visible about 120 cm below the surface. Even though we did not get a reaction on the Christmas crust, there is still a possibility for an avalanche to step down to that layer. We performed an ECT and PST stability tests on a NE aspect at approximately 10,450 feet in elevation. We received an ECTP 14 and PST 18/120End both under our Tuesday storm slab layer approximately 55cm below the snows surface.
