A New Weak Layer

We rode back to the top of Ski Hill in soupy fog. We walked down to the pit site and were not sinking to the ground…a bit of a surprise. The pit was 137cm deep and the facets in the lower half are not an issue. We identified a weakness 1 foot under the surface and it broke as ECTP10. Subsequent hits yielded no results. The weak layer is facets (sugary) 5cm thick that likely formed during the clear spell in the last week or so. This was our primary concern. We were both shocked at how deep Ski Hill was fo this time of year and we did not expect to find this weak layer.
