claggy

We had limited visibility today for travel so we followed our sled tracks from yesterday to head a little further into the Big Blue drainage. The winds were strong from the south with temperatures of -4 at 1550 meters. We did not ride due to visibility but did get our heads in the snow for a look at the snowpack. On a wind loaded alpine north aspect at 1550m, the foot penetration was 25cm. With the height of snow around 190 cm, we found no results of concern. We did a deep tap test on our Dec melt freeze crust with no results; DTN, CTX, ECTX.
