Dug on Blackmore today. Aspect: 100 degrees. Elevation 9600 feet. Winds were moderate. HS 105cm. Concerning layer was Interface between older January snow and recent snow approx 92cm from the ground. This layer was very visible within the pit. Multiple Extended column test were done. All with similar results ECTN9 on this layer. Seems like there just wasn’t enough load on this yet to be a problem in this very specific area. Areas that are more loaded with this layer present are probably a different story. Going forward with caution based on these obs.
