Quick Observation

Nice day on Helen shoulder, we did experience whumpfing on the south aspect at the 2100 metre mark - getting to the top of the tree line, but still in the trees. We mainly skied the NE aspect, towards Helen Creek. We noticed some wind affect, but no reactivity.

Snowpack

We dug a pit after experiencing whumpfing. The CT produced a result at 17, which was a sudden drop at the 100cm depth. Our ECT produced no result. S aspect, 25 degree slope. With prodding from the shovel the column slid on the 40cm layer of frost hoar.
