Decreasing Danger
Problem #1 Comments
Tested the persistent weak later on a north east facing aspect in days fork with a CT / ECT. Was unable to propagate on either tests, however this does not suggest the PWL has disappeared. Facets still exist near the ground, suggesting trigger points for avalanche still exist on NE aspects. Danger is decreasing but not at an accelerated rate.
