Quick report
We traveled on the lower road around Point Six to the wilderness boundary. We traveled to the top of Burgundy ridge where we experienced strong wind gusts from the South West. The wind had sustained speed for periods of time to notice transport of snow off the ridge. We noted prominent roller balls on almost all South facing terrain we observed. We moved back down the ridge and found a location around 7500 feet below Point Six to dig our pit. At this time it was 1:40 pm and we had noticed significant warming on the snow surface as we had traveled around the ridge. Our pit was East facing and on a 25 degree slope. There was no precipitation observed and the cloud coverage was scattered. The wind was calm out of the West/Southwest. The surface of the snow was smooth. Air temperature was 33 degrees farenheit at 2:00 pm. Our snowpack test had height of snow at 140cm. We dug our pit to the ground. We had a CT24 40 cm down from the surface. In our hand hardness test we had observed a density change from fist to four finger at that same depth. Our ECT had no results. We noted a right side up snowpack in our pit with pencil hardness in the bottom 60 cm of the snowpack and one finger in the 30 cm above that. Fist and four finger made up the top 50cm. *There was a noted faceted layer under the top 5cm of snow that was on the surface. The height of snow was 140cm Pit heigh 140cm CT24@107cmPC No results in ECT
