- <p>Limited cracking on facets 2"-4" deep, flaking in 2 layers. </p>
Small cracking. Only observed in one spot.
Dug a pit in same spot as last week. I wanted to see how persistent weak layer below dust crust is doing. Ectx on that layer. I also did a deep tap test 3 times only 1 fractured-q2 resistant planar. Better than last time I dug here. May be slowly healing at this location.
Beggining of storm snow started out w grauple mixed in. Ectp12 q1 on this grauple pooling layer,. Pit is below small cliff, so grauple pooling. See shovel pic. 235cm deep here. I tried a test slope, it was short slope, no luck, maby too much compression. Grauple is suppose to heal quickly....
Snowpack
New snow filled in old tracks a bit. Nw-ne snow fantastic, even low angle above 9000. Heated up, skins glopping 1pm, Snow snails 2 pm east side of compass. Not much wind action,, snow on ground stayed there. but suspect snow falling was moving a bit in light wind
