Floated well in the heavy and inverted new snow. Pole plant sto the ground dropping through slab layer into very weak facets. Did not hit any rocks although the snow is still pretty shallow
Drifted areas had the most reactive snow, with a stiffer and heavier slab layer. All tests pointed to failure on weak faceted snow beneath the freshly formed slab. In many cases I found a thin rime layer at the old/new interface, just above the reactive facets..
