Quick report
Propagation in ECT's, many rollerballs with warming temps, evidence of wind loading at elevations above 9K, minor cornice development due to varied wind directions. No signs of instability observed, however, we did see propagation in two out of four snowpits at the same elevation and aspect.

Snowpack
Right side up mid and upper snowpack. 10-20 cm's of 2-3mm basal facets with an HS of 100cm showed propagation potential in our snowpit long column tests. We also found significant buried surface hoar (thin grey line) 10cm down from the surface in one of our snowpits (CT1 down 10cm Q3).
