Quick report

A compression test revealed a weak layer high in the snowpack (CT11@79cm.) An extended column test revealed a weak layer but did not propagate (ECTN3@79cm.)

Snowpack

The snowpack continues to solidify, but the bottom 20-15 cm still consists of loosely faceted depth hoar. There is a hard layer present at 45-47cm (1F) directly on top of a weaker layer (F-45-30cm) which could develop into a persistent slab. Incoming snow and winds may produce increased risk of wind/storm slabs.
