We observed instability in snow throughout the day which progressed as it warmed significantly. We noted plenty of rollerballs and avoided avalanche terrain as a result. When riding down I had to jump up to get some snow off my board there was a compression that cracked around my board before my descent. For our Avy 1 course we dug a pit and conducted at compression and ECT test. We noticed instability in the storm slab that formed when performing the first elbow tap when the lay collapsed, but did not propagate.
