Composite snowprofile from numerous pits NW -> N aspects from 9400' to 10K.
My partners for the day showing the background of our analysis terrain.
Of special note we found a sensitive thin faceted weakness about 30cm down residing ON TOP of a stout 10cm suncrust at our feet in this photo (SSE aspect at about 9400'). Quite disturbingly, loose facets existed below this crust but we couldn't get any positive test results failing below the stout crust where we anticipated we would. Might be worth caution during next storm or significant warming.
We performed a pile of these looking specifically at thin snowpack areas.
