We did a snow profile test on NE aspect then rode Hang ten. It was sunny with lots of warming. Snow bombs from trees and lots of precip melting off of trees in the sun. In the sun snow is cream cheese, in the shade on hang ten was slight wind affected but still good riding. No instability observed on the ride down.

ETC and CT done on a 22 degree NE slope. ETC had a partial planar failure at eCTH23 + eCTH26. We had a sudden planar failure CTM18 at 68cm (PWL) on buried surface hoar. Under this interface is sugar facets, RG1.
