CAIC Observation Report

cloud cover: broken

Snow depth in this area was around 200cm. Test pit was dug to 140cm. There were 3 layers of concern, our Feb 10 layer being the most concerning. This is a MFcr about 1 cm thick with rounding facets directly below. A bit further up is a layer of buried surface hoar. While not super reactive to an ECT or PST, there was a bit of reaction on the shovel shear. The last layer of concern is a MFcr about 10 cm down with near surface facets directly below. As we get more snow, this layer will likely be reactive. ECTX, PST50/130END@119cm.
