Persistent slab near Mt. Zimmer

Activity
Skiing
We dug a snowpit near the saddle between Green Lake and Zimmer Creek at 10,000 feet on a southeast aspect. We found 10cm of fresh snow above a 1cm ice crust. We found a 5cm ice crust 50cm deep with a 1cm weak layer above it, where we had a result of ECTP14. Based on this result we avoided avalanche terrain today. Our full test results were:
CT5 Q2 10cm (below 1cm ice crust)
CT13 Q2 50cm (above 5cm ice crust)
CT17 Q1 55cm (below 5cm ice crust)
ECTN4 10cm (below 1cm ice crust)
ECTP14 50cm (above 5cm ice crust)
ECTN17 55cm (below 5cm ice crust)
