General Observations

Pit dug in alder clearing below treeline. 900ft elevation. Slope was not windloaded, but areas higher up had been cross loaded and likely had significant wind slabs above the hard ice layers. Overall, lots of large grained facets. Surface hoar growing again on top, but only in protected spots. Anywhere there is wind slab on top, watch out!
