Quick report
While conducting our observation, we found wind loading to still be a problem and there is a melt form about 20cm down, indicating melt water is making its way through the snowpack. There remains 2 ice layers deeper in the snowpack, which could be potential triggered areas for wet slab avalanches moving forward. Currently though, wind slabs and areas of wind loading, remain our areas of concern. While the snowpack in this area wasn't very reactive to testing, it doesn't mean it won't be on a more wind loaded area or steeper slope. Caution should still be taken in areas with wind loading or on/near cornices. Many areas of wind loading
