Poor Test Scores on Mt. Ellis
Date
Activity
Skiing
Dug on a NE aspect at about 7800’ on Mt. Ellis. Noticed pretty significant wind loading/cornice development from yesterday and was easily able to get small cornices to break off. Most notable test result was ECTP16 down 35 cm on a layer of surface hoar. Besides the concerning surface hoar layer the snowpack was generally right side up and seemed pretty solid. Photo of pit profile attached.
