A good bit of collapsing today, but not nearly as much as Wednesday. I would hesitate to use the term widespread to describe collapsing today, whereas on Wednesday it was happening all over. We conducted an ECT on a NE facing slope at 11,300 ft. We didn't get results on the 12/25 interface that we have been having a lot of failures on. This could be due to the collapse that I described above. We dug our pit, I took my skis off, punched through the weak layer, and heard a loud collapse. We were right next to Coyote Chute when this happend and this did not remotely trigger anything and there was no cracking associated with this collapse. Our ECT did get results on a layer 36cm below the surface. We all agreed this was most likely the interface between the Jan 6-7 storm and the New Year's storm. Our result was ECTN 22 + 1. We got a failure on 22 taps, but it did not shoot across the entire column. With one more loading step we did get the crack to cross the rest of the column. This result is not a big red flag in my book. What interests me is that this is the first failure I have seen at this interface. I'm curious to see over the next few days if I can get more results on this layer. Our snowpit was not screaming red flags at us, but our other bull's eye information was still indicating high danger.

Fresh wind drifts were found where you would expect on North and East slopes. Tomorrow be on the lookout for fresh drifts on South faces as strong North winds were rapidly loading them in the afternoon.
