Comments
9,000 ft NNE slope -
ECT showed no significant results with minimal collapsing (no propagation) at a few places within the top 30cm.
The weakest snow is a buried layer of old near surface facets that is sandwiched between the old well-faceted bottom half and the new slab upper half.
Did see one recent avalanche on Cornice Ridge - looks like a possible cornice collapse trigger.
Despite the warm temps, the south faces had not crusted over and were still fairly soft.
