Snowpack

Very pronounced melt-freeze crust (Knife hardness), 56cm down with a HS 140cm. Column test revealed clean, planar fracture upon isolation. Test results were a CTV @ 56 down and an ECT18 SC @ 56cm down. 1 mm facet grains on top of MFcr. Snowpack above crust layer was stiff, cohesive slab consisting of Fist to Pencil. Below the crust was 4Finger to Fist+ to the ground. Lower snowpack seems to be increasing in hardness/cohesion.
