Snowpack

162cm snowpack depth; very thin near surface facets; 4 thin weak layers of old surface hoar/facets in the midpack @ 130, 120, 107 & 86cm. Cohesive column blocks of mixed grains between layers. Clean shears but with a medium to hard failure with compression test and loaded column at all interfaces.
