Dug a profile @2100m, total depth was 190cm on sw aspect close to tree line on ursus trees. Nov 5 crust was found 110cm down. Top 40cm was unconsolidated storm snow. The higher we got the more wind affected the snow became. There was wind transport happening before 1pm when it died down

CTM 4 - 40cm slight pop on sh

CTH 8 - 80cm fracture line

No failure on the nov 5 crust
