Signs of Unstable Snow

Observations

Snow pit:
East aspect, 5,370 ft elevation, HS 135cm, slope angle 25 degrees
30cm new snow well bonded to 10cm rain layer. Predominantly MF to ground with a few 5-15cm layers of DF.
2 column tests:
CT2 Q2 @ 15cm
CT8 Q3 @ 20cm
CT? Q1 @ 120cm (this was deeper than the 1m I was looking at, but after both column tests I pulled on it with a shovel and it popped off very cleanly 15cm above bare ground)
