Poor Snowpack Structure

Not sure what to make of the two ice crusts. I'm new to this snowpack, and I can't place when they formed. I'm aware of a possible riming event 20190119, but there is one 2 mm thick 17 cm down, and one 10 mm thick 36 cm down.

Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>Some reactivity noted on what seems to be SHxr buried about 49 cm deep. CT15 SP SHxr 3.0-6.0 mm, no notable results from ECTX or PST. I'm assuming this SH is from 20190106.</p>
