Lower Disease Ridge

Riding quality was:

Amazing

Snow conditions were:

• Deep powder

We rode:

• Dense trees
• Mellow slopes
• Open trees

We stayed away from:

• Alpine slopes
• Convex slopes
• Steep slopes

The day was:

• Stormy

Avalanche conditions

• Slab avalanches today or yesterday.
• 30cm + of new snow, or significant drifting, or rain in the last 48 hours.

Skinned towards disease ridge and dug a pit on a SW facing slope at TL. HS @ 195cm.

Cracks underfoot on the skin track.

Pit results:

CTE5-7 (RP) down 30cm (result over three columns)

CTM11-15 (B) down 47cm (result over three columns)

CTM 19 (RP) down 60cm (result over three columns)

Lots going on in the upper pack. Keep an eye out, things are slappy esspically lee slopes. There is potential for upper snowpack step-downs.
