Halfmoon / Big Timber Creek South Aspect - Crazies
Date
Activity
Skiing
Spent the night up here and dug a pit on the North side of Big Timber Creek on a south-facing aspect, 25 degree slope angle. There was exposed talus above and to skier's left.
110cm depth - top 10cm of this is new snow, actively falling
95-100cm is a thick melt-freeze crust making a nice bed surface for loose slabs
I had a CT11 failing simultaneously at 80cm and 90cm. The ECT didn't propagate the fracture across the whole column though.
A layer at 34cm failed on facets only when prying the remaining column gently with my shovel.
