Weather

Constant snow fall during the trip. Graupel mixed in with snow, times of heavy snow, and lighter snow.

Snowpack

H.S. is 150 cm. The new snow (which is the top 20cm) would break with tests, not propagate, and was easy to sluff off of steeper slopes on the ski out. The other test failures varied lower in the snow pack with propagation. Once again CT test were hard to isolate because they would fail upon isolation. Depth hoar of 4-5 mm in the bottom 30 cm.
