Mountain Conditions Report

<p>I'm guiding E of Mt Currie near Pemberton. We have been here for a couple of days camped at 1880m.<br /> During the storm we skiied tree line and have found substantial whoomphing and cracking on almost all slopes.Its associated with facets below a the crust that got covered up on Jan 16. 20220116 FCcr.<br /> Test results give moderate results with ECT about 60cm down. It fails just below the 16th crust on a 10cm layer of 2mm facets. The layer collapses and slides out on one step but the is a slight roughness to the fracture which I think is preventing propagation on the small test slopes.<br /> We are skiing low angle stuff during the storm wih no overhead hazard.<br /> Very limited natural activity. By definition the hazard is Moderate but we ski it more like touchy considerably.<br /> I don't have enough connectivity to post this on the infoex.</p>
