No signs of instability in the surface snow but we were worried about the crust layer. Heard 2 whoomfs. Dug a quick profile, ended up being in a very shallow and rocky spot but that is exactly where we're afraid of triggering something. Got a moderate result on the propagation test.

Snowpack

Very shallow, rocky area. HS was 90 and the crust was down 60 and below was rotten facets. ECT P 16 down 60 on Fc sz 2 just over the crust.
