Quick report
Microscale hardness profiles with SnowMicroPen and SnowScope, LWC measurements with permitivity probe, full snow profile with standard observations. No avalanche activity observed. ECTP25 at base of snowpack. Isothermal temperatures in bottom 50cm, so likely the FCxr that this failed on will continue to round and bond and gain strength over the next few days.
