CAIC Observation Report

No new snow for the past several days with warming temps and partly sunny. air temp (F): 30; cloud cover: scattered; wind loading: light; snow avail for transport: small smounts

Snow pit was dug on a NE aspect at 10400’ on the way down into South French Creek drainage. Slope angle was not that steep at 20 degrees. Three tests were performed: compression test (CT), extended column test (ECT), and a propagation saw test. All three tests were non reactive (example ECTX:PSTnull) possibly warranting another observation in the same area at a steeper slope angle. Top 30cm of snow collapsed above the snow pit when walking on it
