Upper 10 Mille Valley

NL Field Team, Thursday 23rd March, 2023 1:10PM
<p>Big sun and snow in the high country today. Great new snow coverage, with up to 30 to 50 cm of low density in protected zones. We found heavy loading in the lee of east facing features, with 100+cm pillows easy to be found. One could say, the Sledding was bonkers. We tested endless small features on our sleds, with no real instabilities showing. Our pit tests produced no significant results. We noticed a couple small size 1, thin slab avalanches, on east facing slopes. We did note some soft surface wind slabs, that in the right piece of terrain, could be reactive. Solar power was up today, snow in the alpine becoming sticky on solar aspects by mid day. We found good bonding of the new snow, to the first crust down in the snow pack. A real pleasure to be out today. </p>
