Quick report

Cracking
specific

Cracking limited to wind drifted snow, and did not appear to involve deeper faceted layers. ECTs partly propagated under the wind slab, and fully propagated on the deeper facets.

Calmer day than forecast with no wind observed. Cool temps, especially in the shade.

Snowpack

Very shallow and weak snowpack observed. Where there was old snow it was faceted. ECTs propagated on the facets, but took hard taps and left behind a rough and irregular bed surface.  My profile location did not have rough ground cover that could potentially interupt propagation. Overall depth was not enough to feel comfortable removing skins to make turns.
