Dropped a couple cornice bombs that triggered small slides that ran about 300 yards down a 25° slope. Dug a snow pit revealing a right side up snow pack but a layer that slid on 9 taps from the wrist 15 cms deep on a crust layer that formed last week due to warm weather followed by freezing temps. Then broke again at 6 taps from the elbow 45cm deep on what I believe to be the lucky friday crust. ECT didn’t have much propagation but we may have done it incorrectly. Regardless with the extra snow that crust 15cm down will likely be an issue on tiger peak in the coming weeks. Pit was dug on a South East facing slope at 1950m at (47.5360136, -115.8282717) coordinate from pin dropped via google maps
