Pit is a composite of 2 pits done approximately 1/4 mile and 200 vertical apart, both on NE facing slopes. As stated above, all layers are faceted and faceting to one degree or another. Basal facets were the weakest, but varied between the two pits. Facets at the lower elevation were only 1 mm, while at the upper pit they were larger 2 mm depth hoar. Lack of a slab limited test results, but eventually everything kind of fell apart on the basal facets. Short story is there is not shortage of weak snow if we get a load.
