<p>Did an intro day for a friend up to Chester then Little Galetea.
Planned to just do some very short turns and some learning.
Dug a few pits and got results on crust / facet layers ~40cm down on all 3 tests.
Wind slab evident in 2 but didn’t react.
Low angle protected slope (12-15 degrees) we tested but still gave an idea of some instabilities in the shallow faceted snowpack</p>
Terrain Ridden
Mellow slopes.
Terrain Avoided
Alpine slopes, Steep slopes, Convex slopes.
