It was a cold sunny day in the Western Uintahs. The snow quality is good on the north half of the compass in wind sheltered areas. The new snow has all been blown away in wind exposed areas exposing the rime crust. I dug at 10400 on a NW slope 29 degrees above a roll over in a semi-wind sheltered area where the latest light snow had blown away. The facets above the October melt-freeze layer were unreactive. My ECT failed ECTN 30 BRK at 65 cm from the base.
