About 20 cm of rounding facets with a rain crust in between. Did not get any results on the CT and the ECT. This Layer seems to be dormant as they mentioned in today's forecast.

The snowpack for now seems to be a low probability and high consequence kina situation. Did see some surface facets and recrystallizing structures on the surface that in time with more snow could be our new weak layer in the snow pack.
