Went for a quick afternoon rip to make sure I put the sled back together properly. At 1800 m we found 85 cm of snow on the ground with the first crust down 25 and another 5 below that. Some facets growing between the crusts. Quick extended column test showed propagation below the second crust in decomposing precipitation particles 1.5. No relevant results below due to rough ground cover.

Sunny slopes had some snowballing from previous days so I'd expect a sun crust there, and some surface hoar was growing on roads and cut blocks 1.5-2 mm 😬 let's hope that stops soon.
