Quick report
Lots of wind blown ridges on windward side, with build up from recent snow on leeward side. Pit dug on south east facing slope (25° slope), pretty unprotected and exposed to a fair amount of wind. Total height 170cm. Very dense and stable snow did not break or propagate during ECT. After test got it to sheer at 75cm fair amount of effort. These results most likely due to location of pit.
