Divide Peak CT test on 1/23

Sorry about the old data but I though some Hyalite-specific observations might still be useful. We did a quick compression test near the base of Divide Peak on Saturday (location on map below should be pretty accurate). I could not see the buried surface hoar but maybe I should have looked more carefully because the compression test revealed two weak layers. We got: CT11, Q1 @ 12" below the surface, CT14, Q1 @ 15" below the surface, and the ground facets (about 36" below the surface) crumbled at CT22. More subjective observations: snow penetration while skinning was only about 6 inches and even hard turns only made 10"ish deep tracks. Nice snow, but relatively firm base.
