Comments
Snow Safety work for Monument Snowcat skiing. Purpose of pit was to locate and investigate reactivity and depth of newly observed PWL IFsc/FC combo within our operating zone. In this location, it can be found 19cm down from snow surface, resulting in sudden fracture character results. However, there is very low propagation propensity at this time. Certainly a layer to watch.
As expected, radiation recrystallization was active on the snow surface.
