Snowmobiling

We rode a loop of Yale Ck, to MT Jefferson, to Hellroaring Ck, to Tin Can Pass, then a beeline back to IP. There was maybe 4+” of new snow which made all the difference in riding quality. There were no avalanches and no wind. Skies were blue and temp stayed below freezing. We dug at the same pit at Tin Cup Pass I did 2 previous times, but this time we got propagation in an ECT13 on the SH buried 30 cm deep. The other two times we did not. With the weak layer getting ECTPs I’m thinking with snow we should see even more avalanches. But it all might get wet from warm temperatures before then.
