Ramp Obs

AAI Pro 1 again. Tour to top of ramp and wolverine bowl. Weather was cold all day with increasing west winds. Wind transport increasing during the day as well. Aside from size 1 dry loose in steep terrain and a small wind slab on a high elevation SE aspect (SS-N-R2D1-I), we observed few signs of instability. Variable wind directions (E to W) have stripped and re-loaded various slopes and have not led to significant slab development. Significant scouring present on E and NE aspects in Wolverine from the wind yesterday. We dug 7 test pits on the E aspect, which was currently being loaded, and got no results in the recent snow. One student did get ECTP26 down 90 cm on FCs but he was in a shallow location not representative of the general area. Perhaps a sign that in thin areas the PWL is still capable of producing avalanches but overall the snowpack seems deep and strong.
