There is nothing wrong with this card....but since I deal with warmer temps in general and sunny skies for the most part....I find that the metal card tends to melt the grains rather fast. I've noticed similar plastic cards not having the same problem. Again...not a knock on the card...probably just something to consider if you ski in the Southwest like I do.

Trick for your problem: this card will hold temperature longer than a plastic card, so slide it into the snow on the side wall of your pit once you have dug out, then as you are prepping and testing let the card cool then it will be good to go once you start looking at crystals!!
