CAIC Observation Report

air temp (F): 5; cloud cover: obscured; wind loading: light; recent snowfall (cm): 50; snow avail for transport: large amounts

Our test location was on a NE Aspect at 10,516’. The total snow depth in this area was 210-220 cm. Our test pit depth was dug to 141cm, ending on top of the Christmas Crust. Our test results, fortunately yielded minimal results with an ECTX and a PST90/120 END Our Tuesday layer remains in the snow pack about 1/3 the way down and still consists of a thin sun crust followed by faceted snow, about .5-1cm thick. This remains our area of concern.
