We skied low angle slopes at Summit Creek. Plenty of beautiful fresh powder at tree line, anything above became wind affected and hard.
We dug a pit on a South East aspect 24 degree angle slope, here’s what we found:
- snow 160cm deep
- 20 cm of fresh powder on top
- Planar weak layer 50cm from surface
- Facet layer 65cm from surface
- No movement of layers upon ECT/tapping test. The layers only moved when pried, and were very cohesive blocks.
- at the base was a thick layer of hard ice
