Specimen Creek

S2 snow most of the day. Light winds, overcast.

Extensive large whumpfs and cracks at about 7000-7800 feet. Snow was unsupportable in many places, others had a clear slab in the midpack you could feel with a pole probe.

Dug a pit at 7500 ft on east aspect. Haven't had a chance to put into snowpilot yet, but here is the jist. 110cm HS. 20cm precip particles on top (F), middle of the snowpack was 1mm rounding facets and/or faceting rounds (4F) and fairly cohesive. Bottom 30cm was large facets bordering on depth hoar. Clear cups forming and 3-4mm or so (F). CT18. ECTX, which surprised me... I should have done a second test. Was able to propagate on the depth hoar using a snow saw easily, though did not perform full PST.
