- <p>We observed buried surface hoar in two locations, one NNW @ 10,00 and S @ 10,200. Surface hoar was 6-7mm in size and between 12-16cm down. See pictures.</p> <p>Of note we also had an ECTP on a South aspect @ 10,200. </p>
Below are some pictures from our pit at 10,130ft that was due South.
HS was 110cm with the CERC and basal facets clearly visible.
ECTP failed below the CERC crust and at the basal facets.
Surface hoar buried 12cm at this location however this site was subject to wind transport so could be deeper or shallower in other locations.
Snowpack
5-6" of new snow overnight.
