Awful ski conditions, 5cm (+-) breakable crust atop supportive crust. Strong South winds. Mercifully dropped enough to persuade us to dig a few pits. One attached, adjacent to previous avalanche (av. report attached, date unknown). Compression tests on an adjacent pit will be uploaded subsequently.
