Quick Observation

We went to the Summit creek and International falls area. It was super windy (40-60km/h wind gusts coming from north) so we did a snow profile on south-east facing slope. Total snow pack was 200cm, that broke off after 5x full arm shovel swings. The failure point was facet layer at 135cm. The snow was hard and withstood the 1 finger, 4 finger and fist test. Snow was crusty and the area was very wind blown with few deeper more powdery spots lower in the valley. We saw a few older smaller slab avalanches on south facing slopes.
