- Heavy Snowfall, Wind Loading, Poor Snowpack Structure
Noted no cracking or collapsing in travels though many slopes have run since Thanksgiving. A few snowpits in the upper elevations show 130-140cm of snow on the ground with a right side up slab of over 1 meter. Basal facets roughly 4F. Multiple (even deep tap) ECTs showed ECTX.
Only a layer of stellars 25cm showed much reactivity with teasing ECTP5. Still, we put little stock in the results owing to spatial variability and the recent loading. When storm settles down, will be increasingly difficult to trigger the deeper slabs and will be avoiding repeaters and thinner trigger points where known. For now I'm still avoiding steep shady terrain.
