we performed three tests in our snow pit today with some interesting results. Initially a compression test (CT) was performed resulting in failure during isolation (CTV). Next an extended column test (ECT) was performed, yielding no results. (ECTX). Thirdly a propagation saw test (PST) was performed, yielding a stubborn response resulting in PST 60/120SF 82cm down from the top of the snow.
