Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>ECT23P/CT24P down 35cm on N aspect @10100ft. Just off skin track on Patsy ridge. Failure on F Old/new snow surface facets &lt;2mm. </p> <p> </p> <p>Surprisingly easy results with propagation on the ECT. The new 35cm doesn’t seem to have enough weight to step down to near surface facets but increased wind or more precip could tip the scales for that. </p> <p> </p> <p>Saw size 1.5 natural in second chute skiers right from Patsy summit into wolverine. New snow/old snow loose wet. E aspect. L 500’ W 50’</p>
