Did a single isolated column compression test on a west aspect 22 degree slope. Pit depth was 130cm with snow pack depth at pit location of 260cm.
After 8 medium taps we had a Non-planar break at 35cm. Decided to continue the test as I thought a different layer would go and after two more medium taps we had a Sudden planar break at 50cm. Continued with the hard taps and was not able to get the remaining column to collapse.
