Poor test scores and heavy wind transport

Date
Activity
Skiing
Snowboarding

ECTP25Q1 on a layer of well developed facets about 30cm from the ground on an easterly aspect at 9200 feet. Pit was approx 75cm deep.

 

Observed heavy active wind transport from westerly aspects to easterly aspects.

 

Larger, 1.5-2mm facets were found in our westerly pit at 9100 feet but not reactive in tests. It was enough for us to not consider descending avalanche terrain.
