Cutblock Peak

<p>We took an afternoon lap on the south side of Cutblock and experienced a slight sun crust at lower elevations (~ 1800m) and considerable wind affected snow in exposed areas near tree line (cross-loading with both dense wind slabs and firm wind-scoured sections). There was ~15cm of new snow in the higher elevations, and we found softer, more enjoyable snow in the trees. We dug one pit and completed tilt test, CT, and ECT (see snowpack summary).</p>
