Skinned out with the UAF mountaineering class group of 11 to the Canwell Glacier Terminus via Miller Creek. Dug a pit on a slope of approximately 31 degrees and as we were digging heard a whumph. Continued our stratification tests and found powdery snow on top of a denser slab layer on another soft layer then a layer of ice all piled on top of a 3 inch layer of depth hoar.
