Mountain Conditions Report

<p>I was guiding near Rohr Lake today.</p> <p>There is about 1 meter of snow at the bottom of TL and near 2 meters at the boundary of TL and Alp. </p> <p>Dug a pit to ground at 1860m on a SW face. 180cm deep.<br /> There is about 30cm of F density snow over a 5-10mm surface hoar layer. This resulted in repeatable CTM 14 sudden planner results.<br /> The December 26 ice crust is 20cm thick and down 80cm from the snow surface. No CT and ECT results on this crust.<br /> Below this (to ground) is almost another meter of snow that is primarily 1F density but the bottom 25cm made up of 4F basal facets. </p> <p>The 25cm above the surface hoar was not reactive to skiing but might be an issue with further load and when a cohesive slab forms.<br /> Basal facets are an ongoing concern.</p> <p>Creeks are filling in and the boulder fields seem to have solid snow over the gaps between pronounced rock bulges. </p> <p>Ski quality is good.</p>
