A HUGH collapse while digging the snow pit - after stepping onto the pit debris.

Also ECTX at 70cm, at 15 taps it broke and tried but failed to propagate. This layer seems to be a mid-storm density change or other change in conditions such as a break in the wind. would expect this to layer to stabilize, but worth keeping track of til it does.
