2 ECT's performed at 8200' and 9900';

8,200' - North HS 110 ECTP5 down 30cm in a hardness change within the HST. ECTP22 down 85cm on 1-2mm rounding FC

9900 -  ESE with an HS of 150cm. Test produced propagation 40cm down within recent storm snow and 130cm down on well-developed, clustered, dry basal facets

We experienced significant collapsing from 8,000' to 8,600'

Weather

The morning flurries were not significant and notable snowfall didn't start until we left the Park around 2pm. Brief periods of solar input

Snowpack

HS on the tour varied from 40cm in the valley to 150cm at 9,900, We observed primarily right side up snowpack, with a hardness change in the HST that produced results in tests. 20 cm of basal facets found at 8,200 were rounding, but still weak.
