Snowpit Observations
More detailed information about the snowpack: 

No evidence of instability observed in this area today. Near crust facets were poorly developed, but visible to the naked eye within the pit wall, especially below the rain crust. Not a current weak layer concern, but worth monitoring. ECTP result is likely due to levering of the crust in the 90 cm sample as PST and 2mECT indicate that propagation remains unlikely at this time.
