Tests at 1460 meters in a open low angle glade. Two Compression tests with no results, one extended column test with no results. Pit was on a NE aspect and was above freezing at time of test. The top 15cms ish of snow was wet. Seems like warming has yet to penetrate to the deeper layers on this aspect. Suspect stability to decrease rapidly from here on on all aspects. Today was a good day to stay away from South aspects in the afternoon.
