Snowpack

Last weeks new snow has stiffened to 4F with 3 days of warm(upper 20's) weather. This layer(16cm from surface) is now reactive to CT tests. Two attempted ECT's crumbled with no failure noted between 4F / slab and facets below. 7 CT tests demonstrated 5 SC failures with taps between 2 and 10 at this interface.
