Lionhead Old Ski Hill

Lionhead Old Ski Hill

Date

From email: "I dug a pit in the normal location to check the snow pack conditions and here’s what I found.
Aspect: East
Slope Angle: 19
Elevation: 8100ft
Total pit depth 70cm
Winds: light 5mph with gusts up to approximately 15mph. I wasn’t on the very top of the ridge so I was a little protected.
ECTP 22 The failure was right at the old snow and new snow line 27cm up from the ground.

The snow coverage of the parking lot, trail up and off trail areas wasn’t great, but I’ve seen worse."
