Observations

Dug at 5300’, 300 degrees aspect, 37 degrees slope angle.

HS/infinity.
I couldn’t feel the 1/12 layer anywhere with my probe.
Dug in the top meter, got ct13m , moderately planar on a density change 30cm from the surface, no really clean crystal types to identify.

Worth saying there was 2-3mm surface hoar.
