Clemina Tree Ride

Fun day tree riding in Clemina. Snow conditions varied from hard wind affected snow in open areas to pockets of powder in sheltered areas. No avalanche activity noted but we stayed mostly at lower elevations and in the trees and didn’t cover a lot of ground. Dug a test pit on a steep northern aspect where the trees opened into a small cutblock. Repeated failures on moderate hits on a rain crust down 53 cm. Didn’t do an extended column as multiple cut attempts on various features produced no propagation results. Had to work for good snow but it was hidden out there.
