Parkers ridge

<p>Skied the mellow slopes off of the summer trail today . HST in parking lot was 30cm and was closer to 40cm as we gained tree line. Average HS was 100cm . We observed moderate sw winds with strong gusts and was snowing at a rate of s-1 for most of the day . We dug a test profile on an easterly aspect at 2000m and had 2 repetable sudden collapse results (CTE1) down 30 in the storm snow , and hard results below a crust 5cm off the ground. What was somewhat surprising was how soft the storm slab was and how reactive it was , we observed 2 small size 1's in the storm snow. And a large size 2 SS/WSL that propogated most if the way across the main slope at parkers . </p>
