Snowpack

compression and ECT tests scored 29-30(unbreakable)Q3 on western slopes below treeline, 21-25 near tree line. fairly consistant til we turned to a due north aspect. compression and ECT tests dropped to 0(failed while isolating column)Q2 on 1mm facets 5-20mm above ground level on all north aspects below and near treeline. A 2' thick, four finger hardness slab over facets seemed to be the persistant problem.
