Quick report
We observed a relatively stable snowpack with two ice layers. Stability testing revealed that the ice layer 33cm down did not propagate (spread) when a saw was drug through the layer. Furthermore, the weak layer did not propagate during an extended column test (ECTN12@120.) The snowpack has solidified and is currently presenting a consolidated layer with minimal hardness deviation. There is a weak bottom layer 117cm down (bottom 33cm,) that consists of loosely faceted snow, but the snowpack above is setting up. There are two ice layers (one 16cm down and one 33cm down) to keep an eye on as the snow continues to fall as they may eventually turn into layers of concern.

Snowpack
The snowpack is consistent and "right side up" with hardness ranging from fist at the top to 1F near the bottom. The two ice layers present in the upper snowpack may change as snow continues to fall.
