Other Comments:
Dug pit on the likely wind loaded entrance to the north facing slopes below Point Six summit. Total snow depth was 240cm just below ridge line on the 35* North facing slope. We observed propagation on the extended column test at 30+ taps @ 50 cm from top of pit. Also found 100cm’s of nonreactive faceted sugar at the base of the pack. We did not ski slope. Instead honed our breakable crust game on the south facing side.
Snow temperature profile:
240cm -5C (top)
210cm -7C
190cm -7.5C
