Signs of Unstable Snow

None reported

Observations

Generally stable snowpack. Around 70 cm above ground level (in a ~188 cm deep snowpack) we observed a funky 5 cm thick melt-freeze layer that was not uniform horizontally, with random spots of ice mixed with 1 finger hardness snow. Other than this, there were no results found in the column tap test and extended propagation column tap test.
