Went for a walk up Healy creek to the pass and then over to Simpson pass and up to Sunshine slack to ski back in the resort. Ok snow, ski pen was about 15-20cm when breaking trail. Dug a pit at the top of Healy pass and found snow depth of about 90cm. 30cm of 4F soft slab sitting on top of 60cm facets/sugar. Did an ECT and had failure on the second elbow tap at the facet/slab interface. Propagated halfway across the column. Redid it on the second half and again same failure. Measured snow depth lower in the trees and found 145cm. Snowing all day with a few cm accumulation. Wind in the alpine/TL was moderate. No significant settlements/wumpfs or recent avalanches that we could see (low vis though)
