CAIC Observation Report

air temp (F): 5; cloud cover: few; wind loading: light; recent snowfall (cm): 30; snow avail for transport: small smounts

Snow depth in this pit measured 125cm. A prominent ice layer with faceted snow, directly under it, is found about half to 2/3 of the way down the snowpack. We perform an extended column test with a score of ECTP23@70cm on a less prominent layer, that was not obvious during our layer finding. We also performed a propagation saw test on the facets directly below the ice layer with a score of PST58/120 end@52cm. Soft faceted snow is still found at ground level but did not appear to be reactive. A lot of “whumphing” was felt and heard
