Dug a snow pit in Powder Park 1 today on a North facing 27 degree slope at 9300'. Snow depth was 80cm, density change within new snow at 10cm and a crust at 40-50cm with facets above and underneath was all faceted snow to the ground. ECT produced no propagation but small chunks were breaking out on the density change at 10cm with a clean bead surface. After I stuck my shovel behind the column and was able to pull the entire thing down on the crust layer. Other things to note was snow transporting from the SW winds and facets on most open N and NE facing aspects.
