Notes

From e-mail: "We got 3 whoomphs once we got into the upper meadows, where there was enough snow for a good slab on top of the facets that make up the majority of the snowpack, down low the snowpack was weak and thin but lacked a supportable slab. We dug a pit on an east facing slope up high and got an ECTP 15@ 10cm from the ground." Pit attached.
