Digging a pit on Scotch Bonnet

We were finding 4 feet of snow on E and S facing slopes and 6 feet on north facing. All pits showed stability and we only saw one small cornice triggered slide all day. In this pit Eric found a few ice crusts (south facing slope), but no breaks in tests. We had no other signs of instability and we skied the slope. Photo: GNFAC
