Beehive field day
Date
Activity
Skiing
It was cold and snowing most of the day with 1-2" of low density new snow by 3pm. We dug 3 pits: at the top of Tyler’s, and top and Middle of Spanky’s. Our pits were 40-70 cm deep and we had ECTXs and a couple ECTNs(23-25) around 30cm above the ground on top of older, slightly more faceted snow. For now stability is generally good with primary problems being wind slabs. It seems the snowpack is shallow enough it will only get weaker without much snow in the forecast.
