Snowpack

Full pit profile. Found HS ranging from 135-180cm at TH. New decomposing snow and surface facets found at top 10cm from Wed storm. Overlying a small rain crust/facet combo that was preserving a graupel layer underneath it that was reactive to easy CT scores with Progressive Compression shear fracture character 20cm down. Mid-pack from recent historic storm was mostly all small rounded grains 1F-P hard, 80 cm thick, and supportive to boot pen. 45cm of advanced facets on ground. This layer below the mid pack was surprisingly reactive with repeatable CTM (sudden collapse) test scores 95cm's down at this interface on a 32* slope
