In a quick pit, I was probing the HS to be approx 120-160cm. I was unable to find a location that didnt have brush as a bed surface, so my ECT was only 90cm deep. I believe that the brush did interfere with testing closer to the bottom of the pit. We had ECTN23 with a non planar break down 33cm on 1mm facets. There was also a layer of some larger facets (approx 1.5mm) 60-70cm down in the snowpack that I couldnt get to react because of the bed surface and brush in the column.
Some surface hoar was growing on top of the snowpack over the weekend but may have melted on sunny aspects Sunday when the temps warmed up and sun came out. Warming was causing snow to come off of the trees around noon on sunday at the 1548 meter band and below.
When touring up friday (Nov 29) evening we noticed a crust layer that ended at the 1000 meter elevation band. Warming on sunday may have changed this.
