More detailed information about the snowpack: 

Pit dug 3m upslope from Dec 1 snowpit. Overall strength gain noted, but fracture propagation still likely on Oct 19 facet layer given sufficient trigger. Concerns exist for possible snowpack failure at ground level after significant new snow loading within the next week.
