Snowpack
Tried to find a representative slope, so dug in an upper treeline opening, with wind affect and tracks. Thin 5-10cm windslabs on surface were cracking and breaking when isolating columns. Most notable result was a sudden collapse down ~50cms. (CTM 19 SC/CTH 20 SP) well defined small (1-2mm) facets under a super thin crust. DTT on this layer were producing more SC than SP results.
