Saw limited terrain but no signs of instability. At 1850 meters, SE aspect had a compression test with no results and a sudden planar extended column test result which propagated down 42cms on the 28th tap. Failed in one loading step on a 2cm layer of low density size 2 facets. Just below failure plane was a thin breakable melt freeze crust. Overall a well consolidated snowpack where we dug.
