Problem #1 Comments
While the persistant depth layer still exists in shady high elevation areas with early season snow, the buried facets seem to be bonding into large crystals with some relative cohesion. The November/December storm layers are also bonding into a cohesive slab, with no propagation observed with an ECT.
