Dug a pit while I was up touring in the upper part of mill creek off of Little water peak. This particular location had an HS of 120, which seems high for the area, spoke with other groups in the area that were seeing an average around 60-80 cm. This location was about 100 yrds from the ridge line but I suspect has been continually wind loaded throughout this system. Sa a few results within the new snow in a compression test but did not witness any propagation in an ECT.

- <p>Found old snow from the ground to 46 cm. Didn't get any unstable results on it but I suspect it was due to the incresed HS in this particular spot.</p> <p>This pit location was on the north side about 100 yrds away from the ridge but was seeing some wind loading</p>
