Tested Lee pocket of windslab below ridge crest at 1550m on north aspect 32 degree small convex slope, undermined 4m trench below convexity then slope cut. Upper 10-20 cm of 4f+ soft windslab propagating easily 2m laterally with one stomp running on buried skiff of graupel, Several more hard stomps released a 1f windslab another 15-20 down on a nondescript storm interface,this lower layer resistant.
