Mark explains why due south might not be as touchy as other aspects. The big takeaway is that we do have faceted snow on due south. A stout crust above the weak layer allows it to be more stubborn to triggers.

Same pit location as above. We are showing an extended column test with no propagation on due south at about 9300'.

We decided to dig another snowpit on a southeast-facing slope at about 9500' in elevation. Here we were able to see propagation within our snowpit tests. We had two layers fail with full propagation. The uppermost layer failed on small-grained faceted snow, and the bottom layer (more concerning) failed underneath a thin melt-freeze crust on more well-defined faceted snow. In either case, if you are getting full propagation with your extended column test, you can trigger an avalanche. I am still a little concerned with the steep southeast-facing terrain.
