Observation Details
Winds from the South and Southwest the night prior loaded the slope. That wind slab was small enough to be inconsequential, but we found CTV on our first Compression Test at 28cm. Second test yielded a CT4 on the top ~5cm wind slab and CT11 at the 28cm layer again. Likely the last storm cycle sitting on top of 2-3mm facets.
ECTP11 and 13 on that same layer.
