Trip Summary

Checked out a low angle spot for some poor condition riding, pretty heavy snow and it seems that the layers are slowly beginning to bond. Hiked halfway up and dug two snow pits. Despite the sun blasting us all afternoon, no natural signs of instability were observed.

ECT no fractures or propagations observed ~140cm deep @22 degrees

CT- fractured at 28 hits at 170cm from the ground @26 degrees

snowpack varied between 140- 250cm along the slope

on the way back the highway was buried in a size 2 wet snow avalanche

stay safe!
