Mixed test scores, warming snow surface in Bradley Meadows
Skied and dug in the trees W of Bradley Meadows at 7690’. Ski quality was terrible as the upper 20cm was becoming very heavy and wet, even on this NW aspect, in the trees. It was 48 degrees air temp at 2pm.
Dug two pits, each with slightly different aspects, and got mixed results just 25’ away:
NW: ECTP25 down 55 on 2mm facets, ECTX x 1, HS of 85.
W: ECTP26 down 67 on 2mm facets, ECTX x 2, HS of 97.
No other signs of instability, and there were quite a few skiers out, none of whom mentioned anything other than the poor ski quality.
