Chief Pascale Riding

Great riding. Stayed away from convex North aspects based on problems listed in avalanche report (Wind Slabs - North Aspect). Excellent riding. HS 180cms. Snow pack was clean. Noticeable layer 40 cms down (had test results on this layer) Noticeable facetted snow layer about 100 cms down. CT Results: Result 1 : 15 (Med 5) small result at 20 cms down - no propogation. Would call this Progressive Compression facture type. Layer essentially compressed on itself. Result 2: 21 (Hard 1) Resistant planar at 40 cms down. Did not slide easily and wasn't extremely obvious but... Result 3: 27 (Hard 7) Fracture on Result 2 depth fully slid off. This began at 27 but really popped off at 29. Aspect was East East North.
