Quick report

HS 125cm, East, 6650', dug a pit tucked up under a cliff where we thought snow would be shallower and more sensitive. Plenty of CT results, but nothing propagated in ECT. Consistently got CT1 on a subtle mid storm interface about 25cm from surface and collapse in old AR crusts with hard force. Could not find any evidence of SH. Crust/facet combos were distinct but seemed too degraded and brittle to carry propagation. Fairly hard recent rain crust 30cm from surface faded out around 6,300'.  Witnessed plenty of active transport and wind sculpted surfaces with gusts of strong wind ramping up throughout the day.  Our up tracks were completely filled in by the time we exited the field.
