Spent time today in upper elevation north facing terrain where I expected the persistent slab problem to be more pronounced. Found very poor snowpack structure as shown on the attached pit. Despite the poor structure, we did not get results with tests. This is likely due to the slab faceting and becoming less cohesive. However, a couple factors keep me cautious: there are a couple crust layers associated with the decomposing slab. These crust layers can allow for connectivity within the slab - so maybe the slab is decomposing where I dug - but it might be stronger somewhere nearby - and the crust connects it all. I have seen this occur in this exact location to produce large avalanches when I didn't expect it. Also, when the weak layer is as weak as it is, it doesn't take much of a slab. Basically still presumed guilty until additional data provides more confidence.
