Snowpack
HS varied from 110cm to 140cm. Upper pack consists of 4F surface facets and wind affected layers. Mid-pack is relatively strong 4F-1F w/ some rounding present. However, these layers are more facetted than they were 3 weeks ago. Lower 30-40cm is rounded DH. Rounding is obvious w/ a hand lens, but layers still show F-4F hardness. Failures are difficult to initiate, but still show SC/Q1 characteristics and propagation w/ ECT @ interface of DH and overlying slab. ECT scores were way off the chart >45. See profile.
