Elephants back pit

We went out to Elephants back to asses the new snow conditions. We dug a pit under the line we rode, with a layer ID, hand hardness, CT and ECT. The weak layer appeared to be on the new snow/old snow interface. No signs of propagation. The new snow was very wet and heavy, actively being rained on. The old snow has frozen over and is becoming a solid base. There was also a wind event yesterday, we observed the same area, it was an ice skating rink with sprinkles of sugar on the surface.
