Comments

Two pretty loud collapses on USA up track late afternoon (4 to 5 pm)...first one had me second guessing my hearing, but second one confirmed my initial thoughts. Handpit didnt reveal an obvious faceted layer in upper 2+ feet...suspect its just below that. Slope angle around 32 - 34?...surface hadn't warmed significantly...tracks wall to wall...
