Snowpack

In upper Sister 4 we found an average Hs of just below 2m. Where we dug we found a stout and unreactive slab that was about a meter thick on top of basal facets. The most concerning layer we found was a 2 cm thick layer of preserved decomposing fragments about 30 cm below the surface. There is a dust layer about 20cm below the surface. ECTX results.
