Compression test resulted in no sudden or even gradual fractures of any layers. Some mild breaking of 30cm layer on compression test medium and also at 40 cm at compression test hard. These breaks mostly just from crushing the snow. Not clearly along the layer surface. Overall layers seem very well bonded.
