Comments
Wanted to check out what happened within the recent storm layers. 10 cm of mixed graupel/hail and DFs sit on top of a 2cm 1F crust which was easily breakable. Some reactivity with compression tests, but no propogation with an ECT (which was hard to fully isolate with the stout Melt freeze crusts 75cm down. S-E aspects at low angles were skiing really smooth and creamy when they were softened by the sun. Steeper and wind affected aspects were not great skiing with a variety of breakable crusts from the last storm.
