Comments
I got up to 10K this afternoon and found about 16 inches of snow. 6 inches of snow from the weekend before last and 10 new on top ~20%+ density. I wasn't able to propagate any collapses with my ECTs. My CTs consistently broke with 3 taps on a density inversion within the new snow. It took about 13 taps to get the new snow old snow interface to collapse with Q3 shear quality. Temps rose throughout the afternoon and luckily, while I was up high, I missed the rain storm down low.
