Snowpack
In the snow profile, there were two, 2cm thick, K layers (windsl) buried in the snowpack (more found in ALP). One down 12, the other down 20. There is a 4F+ facet layer below the upper buried windslab which produced easy, planar results both in the snow profile and in hand shears. See result below: CTE 2,3 (SP) down 14 on FC 1mm (2/2)
