Observations

Did a mostly full pit profile on a W. facing aspect on Arrowhead peak, just shy of 5,000'. Found the two most recent crust layers in the top meter of snow. The first was down 70cm and was from 1/1 i believe. The second was down 103 cm and I think is the 12/21 crust. HS was 250cm at my location.

Got no results on both Extended column (ectx) and Compression test (ctn). I got a pretty low score on the propagation saw test however on the 12/21 crust/weak layer combo. PST35/100 End.
