Snowpack
4" or so of graupel with another couple inches of medium density powder underneath in the Butler Trees. Quick hand pit a couple hundred feet below the ridge showed that top 6" released under four wrist taps. The rest of the snowpack wasn't moving, even after 10 taps from the elbow, granted the angle wasn't prime for a slide.
