Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>CT tests yielding CTV @ 70/rain crust (down 24cm on isolation SC)</p> <p>CTM12 @ 9cm (down 85cm)</p> <p>ECTX</p>

~30cms of new snow since 0700. Starting with 4cm of graupel turning to 26cm of light density.

The snow seemed to bond reasonably well to the old snow surface/rain crust. This was even seen in steeper north facing terrain through rocky point where folks were skiing on the crust and no snow was moving around them.
