Retallack sled ski

We dug pits before skiing near Retallack lodge. Snow pack was about 170 cm deep. We did 2 ECT (extended column tests) with the same results: - RP (resistant planar) on 1 tap at 10 cm down no propagation Warmer storm snow appears to be slabbing up. We also did a compression test: - RP also on 1 tap at 10 cm down. - RP at 18 taps about 70 cm down on the facet layer. Chose to ski mellow lines in tight trees because of concerns about sloughing at steeper angles.
