We dug a snow pit on top of circle awl on the s/se facing aspect. New snow was about 2 feet deep, was sitting on a rain/sun crust and got progressively denser. CT resulted in a SP fracture within the new snow at the 4th tap from the elbow. Extended column test on the same pit was negative (ECTX). Pictures below
