Bear Basin Snowpit
Date
Activity
Skiing
It was snowing heavily around noon when we left the Beehive parking lot but didn't last long. Light snowfall throughout our tour, 2cm of new snow on the skin track. Light wind at the ridgeline. No obvious signs of instability. We skied partway into Bear Basin, dug at the top of that steep rollover halfway down. HS 65, 8600', NE80. Got ECTP13 on a layer of facets about 25cm up from the ground above a decomposing ice crust.
