Signs of Unstable Snow

Observations

The new snow from 12/11 and 12/14 combined to be about 20cm on top of a hard MF crust. The temps dropped as we skinned up from the front site and the snow became sticky (snow sticking on skins) on the surface indicating the storm finished upside down. Put in a pit near the top of Revelation and as expected the newer snow was poorly bonded to MF crust. CT failed (PC) at 4 but the new snow is not consolidated yet. The bottom 15cm is very big rounds that are moist/wet and not consolidated (Fist), but didn't fail in CT. New precip will tear off upper layer very easily. Next few cycles maybe spicy...
