Snowpack

Found some mid pack instabilities while digging but no instabilities observed when traveling. I completed two CT's with each resulting in a SP down 30-35cm (first one while cutting second durning moderate taps), then after removing the block and continuing to tap each test resulted in a second SP fracture down 45cm. ECT broke part way across down 35cm.
