TP open tree line, SE Aspect, 40° slope, 2065m HS: 195 ECTP 5 ↓ 30 ECTN 10 ↓ 30 ECTP 16 ↓ 53 **pit was dug to 150cm, 3-4 MF crusts were visible on cross section. (roughly 30cm,53cm, 100cm & 150cm) Overall, good lower snowpack consolidation. Upper snowpack still healing and giving easy to moderate results. Snow sitting on top of Jan 8th layer forming slab properties but still not enough for widespread propagation in solar TL and BTL supported features. Would not feel super comfortable in large open, convex and unsupported TL. AL was unobserved.
