Skied Main Chute this morning. Group of 3 in front of me were the first skiers in, the ski cut at the top just produced some light sluffing. No other instabilities noted.

Any snow pits photos?
I'm still in VT, so would love to see how the layers are settling before I get out there.
Gnarbabe noted "Dug a quick one at the top of Collins, NW aspect. About 80-85 cm total snow depth. 35 cm of new snow, 25 cm of rounds from the last storm, below that is a crust and below that is maybe 7cm of junky stuff."
To go along with the pit she dug:

More on the morning of skiing at FIS.
Fuckin metric?
What do Americans have in common with Liberians and the Burmese? http://tinyurl.com/3a4demj
Anyway, it was a foot+ of new "milkshake" snow: cold, creamy and delicious :fm:
Bwa! And I was thinking they were especially scientific in Utah. I gotta divide by 2.5, right? Glad to see the pic to sorta confirm my guesstimate.Quote:

Ubber quite outside of the pen today. Skied upper elevation N, NE & E today in Cardiff and Mineral. CT 24 Q2 failed a foot down on what appeared to be a density change , near sketchy traverse @ 9100' North facing. Around 14-16'' of new snow up high came in right side up.

No instabilities noted @ 8500', ENE. New/old layer bonded well with several inches of sugar on the ground. 12-15" new, mostly graupel/ rime topped with lower density flakes. , guessing 10-12% density.

Looks like the safe zone maps will not be released. Oh well. I wasn't at the meeting but I understand why people are against it. Drew said he always gets calls from people like scout leaders who just want to know where they can go worry free in the backcountry. If anything, the maps would have saved him some time in responding to all those questions.Quote:

My grins from yesterday definitely showed a great deal of stability.
I woke up this morning and they were still there.
