Checked depths to January 4th weak layer at different elevations. Here's the breakdown...

Elevation Depth to 1/4 interface HS Aspect
9,000' 95cm (38") 185cm (73") E
8,200' 87cm (34") 157cm (62") SE
7,600' 69cm (27") 114cm (45") SE

 

In all locations, the bottom half of the slab is 1 finger while the upper half is mostly 4 finger hardness.

@ 7,600': ECTP 14 down 69cm on surface hoar. Worth noting that the slab popped and slid into the pit with some energy.

 

Cracking and collapsing in terrain below 8,000'.

Warm one out there. By noon, the snow surface was wet and roller balls were forming on solar aspects. Noted settlement cones around many trees. About an inch of new snow in the parking lot this morning.
