Sunny and windy, turning to snowy and windy. Very poor visibility at times.

Snowpack

I dug a couple pits and observed a couple weak layers/interfaces within 1 foot of the surface of the snowpack. Nothing propagated with an ECT but the layers did pop out quite noticeably when I did a shovel tilt and compression test. Also, when I dug my second pit in the area, there was plenty of snow being moved around. It made it hard to observe the pit walls and partially buried the equipment and food I had placed next to the pit.
