Upper Torpy

Pit dug at 1750 meters on a south aspect. 0-25 cms was fist soft and sloughed away loosely along a 25cm layer in 8 taps, 25-35 cms was 4 finger firm with a failure at 14 taps along a 35 cm deep thin crust. Another failure at 29 taps at a thin crust 60 cms deep. Snowpack was very wind blown and 180 cms deep here. While I was digging the pit a large crack developed on both sides of the pit extending 6 to 8 feet outward. There was no sign of the previous sugary layer in the 1 meter pit. Snow quality was insanely fun to ski but visibility was zero any higher.
