ski cutting along our test slope we were able to get an initial RT failure just a few inches deep, but 200 feet wide within the storm snow well below me. when I skied above the crown to clean out the hangfire, a was able to get another failure which cleaned out the crown and broke back along the sub-ridge. This ran on low density stellars just above yesterdays week thermal crust. Crown depth at photo is close to 30" in a wind pillow; overall I'd have to say depth averaged a 12-18".
