Ski pen is 10 to 15cm. No obvious signs of instability. Tried to get lucky and find some signs of instability on a few suspect features, but likely can't safely get close enough to those trigger points. The strength of the slab continues to make it more difficult to affect the obvious weak layer below.
A quick pit below the crown of an old avalanche that ran into the Pincel on ~1/14, had about 20 to 45cm of snow over the old bed surface of F+ 2-3mm facets.
A test pit above the crown of an old avlanche that ran into the Quill, produced an ECTP 22 on 4F 1.5 to 2mm rounding facets at the January 5th interface.

Spoke with Irwin Guides; they first observed this slide the morning of 1/20, so it either ran 1/19 or 1/20.
