Comments

We dug a pit around 2150m:

Column test medium results #12 30-35cm down on the newly SH-freezing rain layer (no crust properties to it where we dug).

Rutschblock R5/6 inspired confidence on the layer. (Had to take 2 or three proper jumps in the middle to get it to go)

Grizzly couloir:

Dry loose size 0.5 as expected when disturbed.

Otherwise no avalanche activity in the area today. (Left the area at 1:30 pm)

Multiple Recent avalanches off the east and southeast facing slopes was present from the previous day. Size 1-2
