Comments
Rode Ogden Benches today. Stellar skiing conditions with up to 10cm extremely light fist- snow on top of another 10cm of fist and very few tracks higher up. Winds were light gusting moderate from the SW and could hear much stronger winds at ridge top with lots of blowing snow, snowing s-1 to s1 all day. This was isolated to the west of the divide with no new snow on the Alberta side.
Dug a test pit at 2250m on a south aspect. Snowpack was right side up and with a dense 1 finger midpack supportive to boots. HS 155cm. ECTN and no results on 1 shovel shear and one rp failure down 15 on the 1 finger midpack in the second shovel shear.
