Lower East Ridge

Just over 1m of snow. Compact snow 0-45cm, no finger penetration. Multiple crust layers 45-60cm, fist went right through. 60-105cm unconsolidated snow. Compression test wrist: collapse through crust layer on tap 8. Compression test straight elbow: collapse through trust layer on tap 3. Good, casual and fin ride through trees. Obstacles covered. Just a couple blind holes where baby spruces are getting going.
