Quick Observation

Possibly the wettest I've ever been on a day skiing ever, not helped by digging multiple holes in the snow. Rain continued overnight and into this morning. Snow at the top of Hawk chair. We observed some pin wheeling in surprisingly mellow terrain. The snow pack is soaked down to approx. 30cm. In the test pits we dug at ~1450m we had one resistant planar result down 60cm CT hard 25, second pit, resistant planar down 30 CT hard 23. 2 other compression tests in the same area yielded no result. No result in extended column tests. Rutschblock test partial RB4 30cm down. Only half of the block released on the crust down 30cm.
