<p>Over all it was a good two safe days of mountain travel for us. The day this observation was taken it prompted us to stick to mellower less open terrain. Pit results Jan 24 @ 1045 hours; temp -11, elevation approx 1800m, aspect NNE, pitch 35deg, 155cm snowpack (loaded)
CTE 5, Planar @ 30cm, SH/FC layer, Q2
