Quick report

After observing the wind slab, we skied into the gut of south bowl to dig a pit, we dug to the ground and found a menagerie of layers within the snowpack, the most concerning being an interface around 89 cm where we got a sudden result on our compression test (Q1). However our subsequent ECT failed to produce any results. South Bowl feels fairly stable at the moment but with additional water weight has potential to fail in a large way. Top of the bowl was wind loaded, cutting across the top upon entry produced a small wind slab Avalanche
