- <p>We were able to easily isolate 2 columns of the entire snowpack right to the ground. One of these even had dirt attached. The bottom 30 cm was large (2mm) facets, but they were starting to bond and freeze together.</p> <p>The snow surface was wet at 2pm.</p>
The columns of the entire snowpack that were easily removed.
Over the past couple of years, we have done several pits in very close proximity. I have included an interesting comparison of those pits.
Ground facets of the snowpack.
