Skied the 3rd avy path. Snowed lightly all day. Quite tracked out but some fresh turns can still be found. Dug a quick pit ~50m below the constriction. Light powder down to Dec 2nd rain crust (~70cm depth). Below rain crust layer was ~6cm of unconsolidated facets. Sheer test showed dec 2nd layer to be reactive with significant (shoulder strikes) force.
