CONT

Full profiles are still showing that the base layers of the snowpack are very weak. [Example approved by the Avalanche Bulletin Terminology Standardization Committee.]

OBS

A "test profile" requires some judgment to determine what is the most relevant observations to make - you do not take a full set of observations, but only those that matter for your current objective. [Reference: Grant Statham, Avalanche Specialist, Parks Canada.]
