Snowpack
60cm of storm snow increasing in hardness from F to 4F hard overlies the previous rain/MFcr. About half of that came last night. Very subtle signs of slab formation, but did not seem likely to propagate from tests performed. The failure layer was larger grains, 2mm stellars and other forms. We got easy to moderate sudden planar compression test results 32cm down, but extended column test results were ECTN-11. Was not able to get propagation anywhere on extended column tests or test roll stomps.
