Went out to evaluate the current CR/FC combo on solar exposures. Dug a pit on SE @ 9700' and found evidence of poor structure, but the facets are beginning to round and stability tests revealed moderate strength and no propagation. In this particular spot there was not a wind slab on the weaknesses, so that still may behave a little differently. I think we'll turn the corner on this problem relatively soon especially if the wx forecast verifies and we continue to progressively load this layer without a major water event to tip the balance. See attached snowpit for specifics.
