~25 F, partly sunny, light wind
Snow surface
New snow, ridge had thin new snow & windpack snow
Snowpack
Dug pit on top of Tenderfoot Ridge: Aspect = WSW, Elevation = ~4000 ft, Slope angle = 30 degrees, snow depth = 268 cm, weaker persistent layer was visually obvious between new storm snow and older denser snowpack. Weak layer = 4F, above = 1F, below = pencil
Did 3 compression tests:
1. CTH26, Q2, failed 40 cm down on weak layer
2. CTH25, Q2, failed 40 cm down on weak layer, realized afterward another layer just above had failed just prior and wasn't noticed at first, failed at 30 cm down, Q2 - probably in the CTH 20+ range
3. CTH28, Q2, failed 40 cm down on same weak layer
