Propagation on Divide

I toured to Divide today, with the intent of skiing the south face in glorious sunshine and powder. A pit at the base of the south face was a surprisingly shallow 125 cm. There was a thick 4-5 cm sun crust at 75-80 cm, and I got ECTP24 on a thin (~5 mm) layer of low-density facets overlying the crust. I’m kind of surprised it held up that well, considering I noticed snow moving out of that layer as I dug the pit. On the ski out, I noticed a loose, wet slide on an steep, sun-exposed aspect.
