Comments
40~80cm HS. New snow settled to about 10cm. Lots of spatial variability, 2 crust in the snowpack. The upper crust is supportive down 10cm, easy compression test results on this layer. Lower crust is closer to the ground with really sugary facets underneath. Moderate compression test results on this one. Potential for large avalanches on the lower crust / facet combo once we get more snow
