Comments
Strolled up the Bald Hills area, making it to our study plot near the hitching post.
Snowpack at 2150 m was 105 cm, with the bottom 44 cm consisting of basal facets. Neither extended column tests nor compression tests produced any results.
A thin temperature crust was present up to 2000 m on east to northeast aspects, with up to 3 cm of new snow on top. Above 2000 m, on sheltered treed slopes, 5–10 cm of soft snow overlies a supportive snowpack.
Alpine looked quite wind affected. No signs of recent avalanche activity in the Maligne area.
