Saddle Back Pass

alpineairadventures, Saturday 8th February, 2025 10:38PM
<p>Skied a couple laps out of Saddle back pass, the ski quality was excellent with almost boot top pow and no wind effect. I did 2x hand shears to asses the upper layers, both failed easily about 35 cm down on faceted crystals. That said there was very little cohesion and tension in the snow above that. Superficial probing, the mid pack felt over all well settled. We rode slopes to 35 deg at TL and BTL. No new avalanche activity observed.</p>
