Rustler Peak SW Trees

Higher, on above treeline ridges, the wind appeared to be transporting snow over to E-NE slopes. Maybe other aspects. Human-triggered and natural avalanches on similar and other slopes about 2-5 days ago. A human D1 was triggered today on a ENE slope on the other side of Rustler Peak. Note A: removed the top 90cm of snow to see if we could create ECT failure on the 80-90cm facet layer. We could not.
