Quick Observation

Rough travel. Widespread (everywhere, pretty much...) wind transport has resulted in hard, reactive, windslab development, on lee aspects and windscouring on fetch slopes. Massive spatial variability detracts further from a fun day out. We investigated the snowpack (attached in snowpack section)

Snowpack

While digging pit snow failed remotely on Jan 16 crust, with widespread propagation. Extended column test yielded a failure of this interface during cutting. This test also saw an easy failure at the Basal Facets at the base of the snowpack.
