Went for a walk up to Lyle Lakes. Got there at 1:30. On the way up we did hand shear tests that showed a surface hoar crust 30cms down. Dug a pit at 2050m. An extended column test produced a non propagating surface hoar layer down 30cms after 18 compressions on the January 21 layer. Also a Column test produced a sudden planar on the same surface hoard measured 3mm after 13 compressions. Evidence of wind slabs were observed at treeline and alpine. A 2.5 natural was observed from the last cycle just below the head wall
