Comments
Probed NE facing slope last ridge before bowl. Probe did not hit solid ground over 300cm. Dug pit 70 cm to very consolidated crust that continued very deep. Probed with 60cm removed and still did not hit solid ground. Approx 60cm new snow over old consolidated crusty snow. Block test showed 3 layers that separated above the crust possibly 3 separate storm layers of snow.
