Snow pit from Mt. Judah

Toured out to the Mt Judah area for the first walk of the season. Objective was to dig some pits, identify the rain crust layer, and check for wind slab development. In a wind protected treed slope on North facing terrain just below the last climb before you reach the ridge I found a 95cm HS area on ~ 25-28* slope. Pit tests were:

CT M @ 50cm. Progressive Compression Q3

CT H @ 30cm. Break Q3

CT H @ 25cm. Resistant Planar Q2
