Comments
Dug in two different places in the Blind Hollow area around 8,700 feet. The first pit was on a south aspect and there was a ~5cm thick crust between the new snow and the older faceted snow. An extended collumn test did not produce propogation and a PST done right below the ice crust failed at 65/100. The second pit I dug is the one with the snowpilot image. The crust was not there and I was able to get full propogation with an ECT here.
