Persistent layer in Texas meadows

With the MSU Avy 2 class today. We dug 3 separate pits on the NE aspect off the top of Texas Meadows. Two pits had ECTX and one inbetween had an ECTP23 @ 55cm down failing on a persistent facet layer. Bottom half of the entire snowpack was still facets to the ground. Boot sunk to the ground once we reached that layer in the pit.
