Comments
Weakest layer was approximately 12"-14" below the surface underneath a melt-freeze crust. This layer did not have propagation with an extended column test. The snowpack in this location was most very stable with very little weak snow. The snow on the ground was rounding facets that were moist. We observed and were able to trigger a number of small 6"-8" soft slab avalanches that were running on a density change 2" above the melt-freeze crust. Later in the afternoon at 7,000' this density change was no longer present and the new snow had bonded well to the old snow surface.
