Jumbo Cabin

Great skiing at Jumbo the last 3 days and a surprising lack of reactivity where we travelled. We dug profiles on west and east aspects at TL on Jan 3rd (see snowpack tab). Could see some previous natural activity on distant alpine slopes but nothing near the cabin. We mostly skied the east side with lots of smaller features up to 40 degrees in slope but avoided larger/more committing terrain due to uncertainty with the deep/persistent problems. Weather was a mix of sun and clouds with mostly light winds. Alpine was a bit wind affected from previous winds but everything lower was hero snow!

Large surface hoar and stellars on the surface. Nov and Dec PWLs visible in both pits but no sudden CT or ECTP results. Upper snowpack is F-1F. Midpack is 1F and lower snowpack is very facetted and weak. Deep tap test on the basal facets was a moderate break result.
