Quick report
Our observation, in the immediate test area, showed a cohesive, fairly stable snowpack. Our stability tests yielded no results indicating such. However as we traveled to higher elevations and more wind exposed areas, wind heavy wind loading was very apparent. Caution should definitely be taken near these slopes as these wind loaded slabs could be easily triggered and create large dangerous avalanches. Up in higher elevations, areas of heavy wind loading were observed.
