125cm depth; 125-105cm was storm snow(fists); 105-90cm slab layer (4 fingers); 90-55cm slab (1 finger);55cm to ground sugar snow (fists). Column test - storm layer failed at 4 light; no further activity until heavy, when slab failed completely. Pit dug in the trees on 27 degree slope. The ski out is getting quite challenging, with lots of scraping exposing rocks, moss and branches, and many horizontal trees off the trail.
