Observation: Steam Mill Yurt

We spent the last 3 days up at steam mill yurt. Winds were fairly strong all 3 days with very strong winds and new snow 4-6inches as of this morning. Very scary snow pack and lots of wind loading occurring on N, NE aspects. After digging a pit on a wind loaded NE slope at 8500ft we had failure on ECT 12, and 14 on a cohesive wind slab on the upper half of snowpack. We also experienced failure on ECT 22, and 24 on the PWL much lower in the snow pack. We did not experience as much widespread collapsing or cracking as we did a few weeks ago. However my partner and me both experienced a very large collapse on a 25ish degree N facing slope at 8500ft. This collapse was very widespread across the slope and possibly connected slopes. Very weak snowpack with increasing danger due to wind and new snow.
