ECTX, attempted to dislodge the column by using my shovel, Q3 at 45 cm
No evidence of facets from the November high pressure system
Wind picked up throughout the afternoon. My skin track / ski tracks were filled in between runs where there was no tree coverage. Wind was quite unpredictable, although generally seemed to be coming from the SW. Slab formation was beginning to develop and could be an area of concern.
Note: might want to take snowpit observations with a grain of salt as this is the first pit I've dug without being supervised.
