Observation: Red Pine

Dug a quick pit at 9300 ft on a N/NE aspect of Red pine trees. 130 cm snowpack. Found poor snow structure to the ground. Found a few inches of new snow on top of weak faceted snow. Graupel layers 35 cm down from snow surface and 60 cm down from snow surface. CERC at 90 cm below snow surface. Facets to the ground. No results on ECT or CT, however, with mild force shovel shear yielded results on the graupel layer 35 cm down, and just above CERC.
