Quick pit NW Passage apron
Date
Activity
Skiing
Went up the apron today and out to the ski area boundary. The skiing is still excellent, and there were tracks everywhere!
Dug a quick pit at 8000', NE aspect, ~30deg slope
Total Height of snow: 80cm
The snowpack is generally in quite good shape for this time of year. Right side up and wet snow at the ground! No primary layer of concern where I dug and the new snow seems to be bonding well. Because of this I did not perform any stability tests.
Calm winds, overcast skies and balmy temps are most likely helping heal any wind slabs at upper elevations.
One more note: It looked like a D2 propagated in Argentina Bowl. Observed on the drive in
