Did some digging at 8,700', northwest facing. 95cm total depth. Sunk deeply into the snow when stepping out of skis. Pole plants would sometimes break through the weak layer that was 45cm down, but skis never broke through, skinning or getting turns. There was an obvious weak layer at 50 cm from the ground. In one pit it broke at this layer at ECT 25. A second quick test had the snow breaking at 20 cm from the ground, and then repeated at 20 cm in a third.

Did not see or feel any whumphs today. Kept slope angles under 30 degrees all day. Felt very safe.
