Comments

No avalanches observes

Dug a snow pit and found two rain crusts within the upper snowpack

Compression tests provided results however no results on extended column tests

Upper 120 cm of snowpack is relatively unconsolidated as there is a good amount of faceting (dry sugary snow) within the upper snowpack and also includes rain crusts too which is interesting but limited rounding or overall limited rounding /firm snowpack .

No avalanches observes on Kakwa Mountain and Coal Mountain
