Observation Details
ECTN 9. Storm slab over faceted layer. Snowpack 45-70cm deep. 4 fingers density from top to 10cm deep. Then fist to 30cm deep. A faceted layer at 30cm, and 4 finger density to base at 45cm deep. ECT fractured at 30cm (the faceted layer). The break slid easily on the plane at 30cm. Did not propagate through entire column, but some propagation on sheer test. We chose to ski in and out in the trees and avoid open avi terrain.
