Comments
Dug a south-east facing pit l, these are the observations.
15cm of wet unconsolidated snow above around 70-85cm of storm snow from the storm events on Dec18th and 19th.
The storm snow sits on top of a rain crust with a second rain crust 5-10 cm below.
Compression tests were non reactive and the storm snow seems to be consolidating well on top of the lower rain crust.
Given a few more days and everything seems like it would be pretty stable
