Tried to find a relatively thin location so I could reach the MLK layer and observe the water penetration of the snowpack. HS215, pit depth 180. ECTX and CTN columns both pried off easily on liquid water layers after tests. 0C temp measurements in top 40cm of profile were actually +0.2, but snowpilot won't let me input temps above 0C.
