We headed out in the morning with some sun and an ambitious plan. Unfortunately the sun disappeared and the clouds rolled in and we changed the trip plan. Decided to investigate the snow with a test profile at 2000m. North aspect with an HS of 140cm. We noticed consolidation in the recent storm snow. Test results were repeated sudden collapse down 44 cm on surface hoar. When taken to an extended column test we saw full propagation. We were quite surprised to find in our windows of visibility no new signs of avalanche activity! Although we didn’t see any activity we still have little trust after our tests.
