Dug a quick snowpit on a wind-effected and loaded slope. CT15 SP Down 75cm on Depth Hoar Didn't notice any signs of instability on north-facing slopes at 2300m new snow was sluffing but that's all. later in the day we went to a lower down west-facing cut block (1800m) and observed 8 whumps and cracks (ranging from 20-70ft long)
