The snow pack has settled and the buried surface hoar is still present but is bonding well with the high temps during the week See results below Buried surface hoar present @ 15cm, 30cm and 37cm. Crystal size 4-6mm. No results from the column test but did get a result from the deep tap test, DT 27 SC @ 37cm Snow density was fist and 4 finger below for the top 40cm. Dry snow.
