Unstable ECT on N asp near Bradleys

Went out to check on surface conditions and dig on different aspects around Bradley's meadow. 

Found variable breakable crust in many places but dry snow on northerly and non breakable crust on some southerly. Did not see anymore recent avalanches, many old D1 sized wet loose slides near rocks/cliffs.

Dug on a N slope at 7600' found 125-145 cm HS with the bottom 40cm being a mix of fist hardness facets and depth hoar, ECTP20 on the top of that layer. 

Dug on a Solar aspect at 7800' found 90cmHS and multiple melt freeze crusts, with perc columns and water pooling down to below last week's snow ( around 45cm down). The structure is similar to the north aspect with the bottom of the snowpack holding 20cm + faceted snow, though it was definitely damp today and rounding!
