Snowpack

Snowpack measures 115cm at location. Has 3 distinct layers of concern. A Melt freeze crust about 5-10cm from the surface, a thin layer of facets@70cm and our Christmas layer about halfway down in the snowpack. Overall there was little reaction to our instability tests, some progressive cracking.
