TS ~120 on North facing slopes, w/20-25 cm of rounding facets above the ground. Stubborn shears with subjective shovel shear testing, producing broken planar fractures. Low probability given depth and lack of energy in the snowpack, but high consequence. Settlement cones on all aspects are consistent with a gradually settling and stabilizing pack, as is the somewhat cohesive nature of the basal facet layer (fist). New/old snow interface is visible in pits but well-bonded.

Growing quite warm on solar aspects at 8000-9000' today, rollerballs on West and South aspects.
