Dug a CT to test for new:old snow bonding. New snow appears to have fallen wet to dry and bonds well to the old snow surface. A 1cm soft crust exists ~23cm down within the storm snow producing a CTE result. Isolated areas at alpine ridge crest are icy with 3-5cm new snow on top, forming a slippery bed surface to travel on.
