Snowpack

We had a weak refreeze overnight which gave way to a wonderful corn skiing in the morning and afternoon. In the morning we hung out at 5900' digging in the snow. When we arrived at 09:30 boot penetration was 5cm and by 10:30 it was 22cm. We dug a pit and found a right side up snow structure, but we did see water pooling on an interface 22 cm below the surface of the snow. On our CT we did get a sudden plainer result CTM 22cm down, and no result on the ECT.
