Notes
From obs: "Skied the west side of Hebgen Lake today... Experienced widespread whumpfing and shooting cracks on east facing terrain from Lake to over 9000 ft. Dug a pit at 8300 ft. Very weak snow with little structure, but the midpack had a distinct density change with 4F hardness. Large facets close to being depth hoar (~3mm) developing at ground. ECTP17 at the top of this basal layer. My friend also did a PST in a nearby pit and got propagation at 20cm/120cm on the same layer."
