No new occurrences observed in area between No Dogs and Blue Boy. Bloodlust Bowl deposit (across from access road switchback) appears to have some new debris on top. Also observed (from top of t-bar) a large deposit from climber's left side of Valley of Certain Doom, between Super Bowl and Vitamin D deposits, that I didn't notice last week; possible recent but not 100% sure.

Quick test profile, location near top t-bar. Failure with hard "burp" test where there was a slight density change in the new snow approx 15 cm from surface. Compression test hard (22 taps) sudden planar, approx 40 cm down on what was presumably Jan 21 surface hoar. Test profile depth approx 80 cm, no other shears below the above noted locations.
