Comments
Compression test resulted in fractures at 32 cm, 45 cm and 70 cm from surface but none slid off the column during the taps.
Card slid easily through first 45 cm of snow, then firmer. From 45 cm to base facets increased without any noticeable crust.
35 deg slope.
Temperatures: Air -4. Surface snow -4. 40 cm -14. 140 cm -10.
