Cowboy Hiking Shot : Mar Sun Mar 07 05:36:02 PST 2010 User: PattyThe Christmas Crust (157-165cm down) is no longer a "crust". It has metamorphed into large frozen poly crystal and 4F hardness. This layer could be a problem in late spring/ early summer. The hard rain crust (Clay's Laminate) is still acting as a good bridge to anything below it for now.
March 6, 2010
7:30 Start Time for March 7th, 2010
Dug a pit with Dan V. on Cowboy Hiking Shot. Found that the Christmas Crust is not solid anymore, (at least in this pit, that is). The crust has metamorphed enough to be 4F large polycrystals. Could be an interesting layer in late spring. Got a couple of hard compressions above and below Clay's laminate. Pit will be posted tomorrow.
