Full profile dug in meadow @ bottom of Rudi’s Bowl just outside ski area boundary (See photo for headers). Layer Identification (top down) 95–65cm | F-4F | PPsd @ surface 6mm / DF 2-4mm 65-63cm | K | MF 6mm (obs wall – it looked like on my test wall there was another 2cm crust within the 10cm below - which could explain better explain the results of the stability tests.). 63–48cm | 1F | RG 1-2mm 48–20cm | 1F-4F | DF & FC | 2-3mm 20-Ground | 4F | FC 3-6mm Appeared to have faceting melt-forms on ground. 2 CTs and 1 ECT produced zero results (surprised me but I’m thinking the crusts are providing better bridging than I expected). With a pretty consolidated upper/mid-pack and +20 cm of facets to ground I guess this is more of a low probably, high-consequence scenario unless a large trigger is introduced. Purpose was to gather baseline info - first day with my head in the snow.
