On a northeast facing slope at 9,100' near the ridge that divides middle and beehive basins my party dug a pit that was 65 centimeters deep, the extended column test had a score of ECTN 19 at 37cm. The layer at 37cm from ground appeared to be 5cm of sugary fist density snow sandwiched between layers of 4finger density snow.

We observed small shooting cracks up to 6 inches while traveling through freshly wind loaded snow near ridgelines.
