- <p>I had one really good colapse today which made me decide to dig in the snow where I got a ECTP13. The ECT failed on the old snow new snow interface on the near surface facets that formed over our last high pressure last week.</p>

- Instability Comment
- <p>The persistent slab has changed a little the old snow is now a cohesive unit and the snow sitting on top of the pre Dec 18th snow is where the collapsing is occurring. So I guess I am trying to decide if it is a new snow problem or a persistent slab problem because we still have such a thin snow pack.</p> <p>New snow because of what I said before. </p>
A new rime crust has formed on top of the fluff from the night of the 20th. We have also gotten a trace since the rime formed. The trace was a graupel sort or component.
