Snowpack
There is a ayer of buried surface hoar down about 20 cm that propagated. There is also a small layer of basal facets right on the ground. Height of snow was 100 - 110. We repeatedly got CT results on the BSH layer. CT 12 SP down 20 cm. ECTP 12 down 20 cm. None of our tests appear to break on that ground layer, but it was very easy to pull the columns from the ground on those old basal facets.
