Snowpit on a northwest facing slope at 9,400'. Total height of snow was 49" (126cm) and while the stability was poor we got no results with extended column tests (No propagation). I still don't trust this weak faceted sugary snow and a steeper slope with more wind loading would be suspect. In thinner areas facing all aspects (direction on the compass) we found weak thin faceted snow. There was a report of a large collapse in this area on a southeast aspect at 9,000' on a 24 °slope. Getting signs such as cracking, collapsing, and whumpfing are sure fire signs that the facets are not done yet and any additional snow or wind could bring them back around.
