Spooky, but great skiing.

Mountain Conditions Report

<p>Adding to Jeff's report of a couple days ago...</p> <p>Skiied (yesterday, Jan 25) to treeline on Mt Field with some buds, found GREAT skiing even with the abundance of Charlie Brown christmas trees and alder. Ski pen of 30-40cm.<br /> Jumped on several mushrooms and got DRAMATIC failures, down ~60cm.</p> <p>3 test pits spread out across slope at 2100m, NE asp:<br /> CT results in moderate/hard range, all sudden planar, down 62cm. Found 1-5mm surface hoar and facets, suspect Jan 5 layer.<br /> Performed an ECT, and while the block did not fail within the 30 hits that are standard, I hit a few more times and got a sudden planar result on hit #34, fracturing across the column all at once, down 62cm. While not "standard", I consider this result significant.</p> <p>We stuck to conservative terrain. (duh)</p> <p>Cheers<br /> Jason Guptill ASG/ARG</p>
