Went to backcountry and find out that unfortunatelly we forgot our ice skates and decided to just enjoy being outside and dug a pit (Sheltered area near trees in TL, bottom of Rudi's bowl, small trees and rocks on the ground). Supportive crust on the surface - 3cm of F PPrm (0.3 mm) over 4cm of P MFcr. Then 20 cm of 1F RGxf (0.5mm) and 27 cm F FC (1.5-3mm) below. Second layer of crust found down 56 cm - P Mfcr. 10 cm 1F RGxf (0.5mm). Basal facets - 34 cm 4F FC (2mm) over DH (4mm). Snow tests: We did three CT and one ECT- 2 times CTH 29 (SC) down 29 cm on 1mm FC. One time CTN. ECTX.
