Results: ECTN
Our pit showed approximately 5-10cm of newer snow sitting on top of progressively harder snow (4F -> P). At ~50cm there was a knife-hard layer sitting on top of pencil hardness. We were able to get the column to fail on the knife-hard layer after finishing the ECT with no results, but it took a lot of effort.
