Snowpit on Rubicon

Toured rubicon this morning. Conditions were nice. Didn't notice any signs of instability on the way up. Dug a pit in a clearing and ran an extended column test. East aspect elevation 8400'. The dec 11 crust was clearly visible but our test didn't show any propagation on it. However, another group ran a test nearby us and had propagation across the column. So there were mixed results. Still many rocks hiding just below the surface.
