Quick report

Very stable snowpack observed, snow density increased with depth. Several crust layers were present and had relatively weak interfaces with the snow above them. A compression test resulted in CT24 at roughly 20 cm deep on top of an ice crust. Follow up ECT produced an ECTN result. When shovel shearing the blocks from both tests, they broke on top of a lower crust layer when a significant amount of force was applied.
