Pits from the Ramp

I did some digging around on the Ramp this morning. Got propagating test scores with moderate force in 3 snowpits. Pit from just below the ridgeline on an East aspect at 8500' had a snow height of 120cm: ECTP16 down 60cm, interface between 4f facets and larger fist facets. A thin, soft 1cm MF crust was present down 15cm. I dug at 8000' on a South aspect, height of snow was 60cm, ECTP11 down 30cm below a 20cm MF crust, wet depth hoar to the ground. I also dug on a SE aspect at 8200', height of snow was 65cm ECTP13 down 40cm on dry depth hoar below a 15cm MF crust.

Except the top 200', a stout MF crust was near widespread below the new snow. Tracks in steeper terrain showed small loose dry slides contained to the new snow. It was warm, southerly aspects were getting wet by mid day, wind was light, I didn't observe any evidence of transport. 

Thanks for all your hard work!
