Relay Peak Snowpack Observation

Went to relay peak area to take observations in a deep area of the snowpack on a NE facing slope @ 9260ft elevation . While touring near a south facing feature there was small grain surface hoar present. Staying in low angle terrain I did not see any evidence of avalanche activity in the area.

I observed F -> P hard snow sitting on top of a weaker faceted layer. This layer is still faceted but seems to be in a rounding state. DT was performed and PST showed propagation. See for details.
