Variable wind loading in fairy lake

Dug two pits. First was a SE aspect at 8000 feet (1st picture). 40cm of loose un consolidated snow with a crust near the top, got no test results. Second pit was on an E/NE aspect at 8300 ft and the snowpack had deepened to 160cm of pencil to knife hard slabs with 10 cm of softer wind blown snow on top. Test results here was Ectp-23 breaking about 50 cm down in the snowpack (picture 2)
