danhelmstadter Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 i skiied the couloir form the first rockband yesterday, where i ran into some slabby snow that failed with a compression test after the third tap from elbow(ct13), the slab was 1finger 40cm thick, and failed on a thin layer of facets within the new snow, which was over a meter deep in that loactaion... excellant powder in lower couloir.. I also found similar slabyness and compression test failure on the traverse into the lower north face... The slabs -- being so thick, are probally not all that sensitive, but I didn't want to chance it.. I would think they'd stabalize some with the expected warmer days this weekend.
