Cold, with calm to light winds
Decomposing storm snow that appeared to be faceting.
Pits had very poor structure, moderate strength, and low to moderate propagation. CTs were results were in the teens failing on facets below melt freeze crust. ECT results were moderate with propagation on the melt freeze crust 80cm's down. We also experienced failures on the buried near surface facets below pencil hard wind slab at 30cms.
