Equinox ride

<p>Nice powder day on chief pascal, white out at the top for most part. Equinox was in great shape, snow guetting heavy at lower elevation but still playfull. Dug a pit on a NE face around 1900m that was a bit crusty. Cracked the persistant slab at about 40-50cm down while cutting the back of a compression test. On a ECT, new snow (5-10cm)triggered very easily at 4-5 taps with no propagation, smooth surface. Persistant slab at 23 with medium propagation and uneven surface. Rutchblock: 5-10 cm trigger with on ski step, deep slab after 4 hard jumps, not a smooth slide.</p>
