Weak Layers and Wind Slabs - Saddle Peak

We hiked the ridge to Football Field. We dug just below the ridge and found a couple of problems in our pit. A 15-20 cm (6-8”) wind slab had formed over the last few days. The HS was 110 cm, and we got an ECTP12, below that wind drifted snow (11 cm down from surface). Next, we got an ECTP 21 and 28 in the middle of the snowpack (56 cm down from surface). The ECTP21 and 28 occurred on 1-2 mm facets sitting below a pencil hard layer of rounded grains.
