Comments

Quick test pit to get a better look at some of the wind deposits on the NE-E side. Probing the gladed slope at TL revealed snow deposits of 90-100 cm. Recent surface hoar (> 2mm) widespread. Locally strong TG. Bottom 25 cm FC.

Single test performed with the following result: CTH (28) BRK @ 60 to 75 on thick crust (P) above FC.
