While the 2 grauple layers were very obvious in the pit wall, they were not reactive. ECT's - no results; CT's - no results. The lower layer would pop out easily with a shovel shear, but that was it. While hitting the ground with the shovel, did not clean out the snow, could feel/pull out a few facets from a thin layer on the ground.

Wind occasionally blowing harder across the ridge lines, and eroding snow. It looked like a lot of it was sublimating.

Perfect powder from a right side up storm. A few shallow soft wind crusts, the only sign of surface faceting was above 9500', and very minor.
