Wind, snow, ECTPs in Bradley's
Date
Activity
Skiing
Was out with an avalanche class today, strong, swirling mid mountain winds and boottop new snow.
Our group got a small test slope to slide a small pocket of recent wind slab, then dug on an ENE aspect near the top of Bradley's HS 200cm, ETCP28 on that same fresh windslab down 25cm. That area was heavily wind effected from earlier this week.
Around the corner on a more scoured ESE aspect HS 80-90cm the snowpack had 2-3mm wet facets at the ground, ECTP24 10cm off the ground failing in facets.
Skiing was variable, but much improved from yesterday's breakable wind crust!
