Couple pits in the Shames Backcountry. Upper and mid snowpack is generally well settled. Got no compression test results in pit on N aspect at 1150m and CTH SC x2 on basal facet layer in a pit at 1250 m on SW aspect. Temperature gradient was observed to be favorable to rounding at the base of the snowpack.
