Snowpack
There were a few remnant layers of slightly stronger 4-finger faceted rounds, but generally speaking, the snowpack is all facets with larger depth hoar near the ground. In places where recent winds have drifted thin, hard slabs, you could find a more supportable structure, but if you poked through this layer, you'd sink to the ground. We tested a few different layers with PSTs and had better results on the lower facets/depth hoar (25/100 end down 50). ECTs produced no results.
