Snowpack

Dug two profiles. Lower one at 10,500', upper one at 10,900'. Both East-facing. Surface hoar stripes above the DH layer, ~12cm above the DH, and another above that. The layer 12cm above the DH is the notable one, which could fail before the DH layer. CTM, ECTP 18 and 19. Test failed at both the DH and SH layer simultaneously a the lower site, and only at the DH at the upper site.
