Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>Walking just below the ridgeline I triggered a loud woomph and collapse. I stopped in my tracks and dug a quick pit.</p> <p>X-file trees</p> <p>9000' HS 65cm</p> <p>315 NW 20 degree slope</p> <p>CTE1 @25 cm (PWL)</p>

Great riding conditions aside from a little wind skin. The snow surface was a thin layer of graupel.
