Observations

The bottom 45 cm are faceted crappy snow. And then another layer of facets at 65-70cm. . Unreactive - DNT - did not fracture nor collapse. However there is a very distinct slab from 70-90 & 45 to 65. I just couldn’t get them to collapse during testing, but they def came down as a unit while cleaning the pit
