Quick report

Cracking
isolated

-Toured out to Bullion/Cement basin. - Found wind textured snow, and shooting cracks on the cross loaded gullies downwind of them(S/SW aspects) -Found surface hoar in exposed areas -Encountered a pit someone else dug on the skin in (6000' SW Aspect). Hopefully that party will submit their own better obs as it appears they did some column testing. I took a few pictures of their pit and found a ~fist hard layer of fresh few inches on top, a 1f+ layer below that, then back to weaker 4F layer beneath. This 4F layer beneath was quite loose/unconsolidated/non packable (I'm not quite confident enough in my snow science to definitively call these grains faceted)
