Quick report

We went out to have a look for our PWL and see how coverage has faired in the Crystal area. We found 2 heavy inches on a mostly supportable ~2in crust on SW aspects. ECT and PST showed no results and the 2/7 & 2/13 layers are starting to look like the warm temps have been influencing them. On polar aspects it's a totally different story. In Basin Lakes, we found 2-4in new on a thin breakable crust. ECTN 22 on the 2/13 layer and PST 75/100 self-propagating on the 2/13 as well. Notably we found fully intact surface hoar in this pit.

Not sure if this was there when you guys were last out. Looks to be fairly recent.
