Sugarbowl

<p>Quick tour up Sugarbowl to get a half day of turns in and see how the snow over the past week has been bonding. Pit at 1440m on N aspect treed slope had HS 290 cm. Easy to moderate results in compression tests: CTE9 down 14cm, CTM14 Sudden Plannar down 64cm on what looked like 2-3mm mod. rimed precipitation particles and faceted grains. ECTN 21 down 64cm. Our main concern was that week layer down 64 cm, so we kept it a relaxed day. Low angle treed skiing was still quite enjoyable and the lower sugarbowl outtrack isn't a complete death luge, so bonus there! Looking forward to seeing the recent storm snow hopefully bond well with an otherwise well consolidated snowpack in this area.</p>
