Surface hoar buried 55cm deep

This snowpit was dug near Lulu Pass on a NE aspect at 9700'. A very thin layer of surface hoar was detected in my stabiility tests. Although this layer did not propagate here (ECTN 23 and 25), I think it would if it had a larger load on it. This may be the layer that released on the Fin 2 days ago. Photo: GNFAC
