The basal facet layer is stronger than I expected, and I found it non-reactive in this pit. Quite a bit of nicely hardening February snow. Depth of slab making it hard to test and likely difficult for a person to trigger an avalanche.
Similar profile at two other locations at 7500 feet East (HS 115) and 8143 feet NE (HS 130). The NE location had some rounding fx's at ground. Not major concern but there. Consistent ECTN at fx's under ice crust at 103cm. PST's on this layer were about 75/100 end.
