Snowpit Observations
More detailed information about the snowpack: 

Propagation tests on the facet layer just below recent storm snow gave variable results in this area. ECT scores were 2 x ECTX and 1 x ECTP-17. PST 35/100 end on the same persistent weak layer gives good indication that propagation of fracture is still possible if collapse of the weak layer is triggered. Pit data obtained in near treeline terrain on a NE aspect 30 degree slope at 8,120'.

Pit profile graph to come soon.
