Another ECT on NorthEast terrain did not yield results. Spacial variability is real.

<p>2 foot slab on top of a nasty layer of small facets. ECTP 14 Q1. As the experts have noted, avalanches now could leave a layer of depth hoar intact that could cause problems down the road.</p>

It's a mixed bag out there. Surface facets on east facing slopes under 30 degrees made for excellent riding conditions. Still not much cover on north facing trees in Greens Basin.
