HS-AM(r)-R4D2.5-O. Snowmobile test cut well above slopes breakover remote triggered slab. Fracture wrapped from ESE - NNE aspects and crown was on 25-32deg slope with majority of bed surface on a 35deg slope. Average depth was 70-85cm deep. This slope was likely wind loaded in the past, however new snow did not show any signs of wind loading. Did a quick compression test on NNE aspect of crown: CT26SP at bed surface with CT14PC at new/old snow interface. Clear skies with rapidly warming temps likely added to the stress in the upper snowpack, as snowmobile activity around the slope from other riders wasn't able to trigger it earlier in the day.
155cm HS with bed surface at 70cm. Slight temp crust/ RR crust beginning to form at snow surface with cold dry fist hard storm snow to 130cm. Pencil minus temp crust from 130 to 124cm then 1F to 1F+ from 124 to 70cm of rounding crystals. 70cm to ground are large 4F- facets.
