Weak snowpack at Lionhead
Date
We rode to Ski Hill then around and up onto Lionhead Ridge. We found buried surface hoar in both locations,1-1.5' deep, with soft sugary facets below. Along the ridge we had two small, but audible collapses, when we walked from our sleds to a snowpit. We had ECTP23 breaking on the weak layer a little over 1 foot deep with HS of 84.
Skies were overcast to obscured with light snowfall. 1-2" fell through the day, and light to moderate winds.
