Snowpack

The snowpack in this location was 150cm and the pit we dug in this location was 100cm. About 8 to 10 inches of new snow on top of a fairly reactive weak layer 53cm in the snowpack. We performed an ECT test as well as a PST test. We got a ECTN25 on the Tuesday layer and a PST 32/100 on the Tuesday layer.
