Observed small (size 1)slab avalanche triggered (seemingly intentionally) by another group on a steep slope. Picture included. I included it in this MIN cause it was informative to observe.

Snowpack

See photo of notebook for amateur snow profile. Relatively consistent density. Some resistant fractures during column test on two layers (approx 30, 35 cm below surface) that were difficult to identify with density profile. Seemed like all storm snow though not the most recent storm. No propogation of any fractures in ECT.
