After digging a pit higher up I was navigating down in the trees (aside from a small low angle section mid slope) and I saw an opportunely to put some stress on a rolling steep section near the bottom. As I suspected the slope failed on the facets just above the early season snow. The slide was small but deep and although it would not have buried anyone, I could have easily twisted a leg on the trees below. My previous stability tests higher on the slope failed on the same layer ECTP15 Q2.
