I've been doing on full profile once a week, so here's the latest. This site was surprisingly deep, at 225 cms, and despite the obvious facets below 60 cm, showed good stability in tests. A CT test showed some rough fractures in the upper section. I did a deep tap test at 100 which yielded no results.
It would be hard to feel like it was a green light with 60 cm of facets. And shearing off a block above the facets which your shovel gave a hard, cohesive block of snow. Still, considering where we were a few weeks ago, it seems like we're moving in the right direction.
