Weather
Partly sunny with high overcast. Temperatures stayed below freezing all day.
Snowpack
30-70cm of faceted snow. The snowpack is mostly faceted in shallow places. There is just enough cohesion to keep ski pen at 15-20cm. In a profile on a southeast micro feature, test results produced an ECTN(16) and CTE(14) down 47 on the facets near the ground. I jumped on several steep rolls and creek banks and there is evidence of previous cracking on many of them, but nothing moved today.
