Part of Avy level 2 course: several pits dug in close proximity. The morning had probably 2 hrs of sun sunshine before becoming cloudy and then snowy.

Generally good snow pack structure down 150cm. All pits showed reactivity in new snow layer.

HS 180

Pit depth 145

CT4 Q2 10 CM down on potential density change

ECTN2 10 CM down on same layer; no propagation on deeper layers when continuing the test beyond initial new snow initiation.

Sun crust 30 CM down; but snow seemed well bonded across all pits.
