Comments
Dug a pit and got 2 column tests.Pit was at roughly 2000m. CT11 SP down 30 cm on a gropple layer, then we got a second failure on the same column, CT19 SP down 70cm on a layer that was mostly surface hoar, but had some gropple and stellar grains as well.
ECTP26 down 70 cm on the surface hoar layer.
Rain crust ended about 1960, variable windslab above. HS 0-240cm depending on wind more than elevation.
