Comments
I went for a little walk around the Guardsman area and dug a quick pit to check reactivity of the last two storm's snow as it sits on top of the weak facets. I got and ECTP6, about 30 cm down on the slab formed by the snow from ~10 days ago. The pit was on a low angle slope but the collapse seemed to be fairly energetic.
