Natural slide and poor stability on Ernie Miller Ridge

Natural slide and poor stability on Ernie Miller Ridge

Date
Activity
Skiing

We toured to Ernie Miller today and saw a natural avalanche on a NE slope around 9600 ft. We heard and felt multiple collapses on our way in. We dug a pit on an east facing slope around 9300 ft where we found 105 cm of snow. We got a ECTN 2 result, failing on an interface about 15cm from the surface and ECTP5 failing 40 cm from the surface.
