Quick report

Skinned up Lundine via Commonwealth. Rock faces and steep aspects had all shed in the prior 48 hours. Noticeable debris runoff all over. Stopped @4500' to gather numbers 155 cm snow depth. Compression test yielded failure at 23 taps (3rd full arm). Fracture occurred approximately 33 cm below surface (1-3 crust?). Descended via cocaine couloir. Noticeable pinwheeling, but surface felt surprisingly solid and skiing was better than it appeared.
