- <p>Mostly stable snow with only a couple of collapses on ascent and one on descent. </p>
Hand pits reflected weak snow at interface of the old snow and rain event. ECT tests failed below early November rain event at basal facets from early season snow storms. More sensitive than I was anticipating. ECT 10 ECT 3 Overall snow depth - about 32" New snow - about 10" .5" graupel layer above rain/rime crust

- <p>Kept in mind the early Oct. snow - rain/rime event interface, so kept slope angle down. </p>
Light snow on a supportable base.
