- Red Flags Comment
- <p>Tilt Tests, Compression Tests and ECTs showed resistant planar shears within near surface facets buried below wind loaded, dense new snow layering most of the way up the leeward side of peak 10420 west ridge. ECTP21, CT12 R.P. down 15-25cm. Mixed results on graupel layer down 10-20 cm with one test showing full propagation on that layer, ECTP22 RP. In sheltered areas no signs of instability were observed. </p>

- <p>Dense wind slab sits on top of semi persistent (graupel) and persistent (rounding) near surface facet layer in some locals.</p>
