Comments
Observed stability indicators on this east face, post snow pit and ECT. Two problematic layers are apparent consisting of a weak melt freeze crust at 20 cm and 50 cm. The 4F layer at 50 cm is concerning with the oncoming snowfall. The additional loading of slopes receiving more solar aspect might yield interesting conditions later this week.
