Quick report
- Collapsing
- widespread
Still triggering collapses while traveling in large groups, curious how much collapsing we would have observed travelling solo. Still found poor structure in pits, but somewhat surprised by lack of propagating test scores. Plenty of evidence of recent wind loading although winds were light while we were touring. Didn't get eyes on much terrain due to short day and bad viz. We observed several collapses in flat terrain around the base area as well as in the mellow SW slopes off the back of Chair 4 at 8,000ft.
