Snowpack

Profile dug in a significantly loaded pillow, HS=145. Upper spx very firm (P-1F) with a weak layer 30cm from the top. This weakness produced hard results in SS, CT and ECT and Q3. The mid spx was even more solid (P-P+) with very subtle layer that did not produce any exciting results. The lower spx consisted of 60cm worth of well developed facets/depth hoar up to 6mm and 1F to 4F hardness. Test results in the depth hoar were very hard to trigger and were also Q3. Again, this was a significantly loaded pit site, but provided us insight into the large pillows seen higher in the cirque.
