Quick report

Ascended the Klahhane Ridge to the entrance of "All In" (North facing, 5900ft) and dug a pit to check stability. Pit was 210cm deep and found a 2cm breakable crust on top of 30cm of coarse weak snow. The remaining snow was a solid 1F on top of a faceted layer near the ground. Did a compressions test and found the the top wind effected layer and weaker snow collapsed at CT1. Continued to CT30 but didn't get a defined shear further down the column. Ended up descending back to Victor Pass and rode a 27º section to the first bench. On the steeper part of the pass (skiers right) there were 2 D1 sized loose wet slides that looked about 3 days old.
