Quick report

Toured to backside of Pebble Creek to look for facets and attempt to determine whether early Nov snow had stuck around and been buried at high elevation NE aspects. Found reactive base facet layer of approx 30cm thickness, buried by Dec 1 storm snow. ECTPV and ECTP5 observed on facet layer. No whumpfing as had been experienced yesterday, no cracks observed, but ECT propagations on isolation and at 5 taps on basal facet layer from Nov 23 (and possibly earlier) snow.

Snowpack

Nov 23 and early nov snow forms facet layer at base, overlaid by thick, dense slab from Dec 1 storm.
