From email: "This was in a wind-protected area with soft surface snow and no obvious prior wind loading. By this time it had gotten considerably colder, so we did not spend much time there. The total snow depth was about 115 cm, and the faceted layer went from 50 cm to the ground. ECTP23, and broke clean and smooth. There were also a couple of ECTNs in the upper snowpack above the ECTP." Photo K Birkeland
