<p>We dug a pit on a N aspect got an ECTN. Cohesive slab 45-50cm deep fractured but did not propagate on double crust layers buried at 105-110cm from the ground. We also noticed small pockets of storm snow that had released on Monday or Tuesday. We stayed in or close to the trees and when one of our group ventured further into the open they released a small slab approximately 5m wide that ran for approximately 15m </p>
