Whumpfing easily noted above 2100m. Turned around and went down mellow slope less than 30 degrees. Dug a pit on a SE aspect at 2150m. 32 degree slope. 10cm fresh snow. Top 30cm well consolidated then weak facets to ground. 75cm depth at this spot. Difficult to even saw through a 3cm icy crust down 20cm. CTM12 SP down 30cm Snowpack felt much more consolidated below 2100m though we didn't dig a second pit. Difficult to turn as it was easy to break through the crust 20-30cm down once below 2000m. Very light skiers able to stay above crust some of the time. Heavier skiers constantly breaking through below 2000m
