Comments
There is 230cm on the ground that with the majority being well bonded but the top 12in has three ice layers with some facets in between that failed easily on the compression test (4, 9, and 14) each failing on buried surface hore. Currently these are not reacting and we didn't see any cracking or failing all day and performed multiple test slopes. There is some wind loading but we actively avoided those areas. The current surface is developing hore and the top 12 inches when buried with substantial snow will likely be an area of concern.
