Wind loaded start zone in the ALP

BTL Glade open to sky, slight solar aspect. No evidence of Dec 13th SH at this location.

We dug the pit on a small steep north-facing slope near the duck pass trail to get an idea on similar slopes and look into the facet layer that has been an issue this season. The bottom of the pit was uneven rocky terrain so each test had a slightly different depth (Variable by about 15cm in spots), but I will be representing all of the issues found with a consistent depth of 102cm. This slope looked to have seen multiple different wind loading events throughout the storm cycles of the year.
