This snowpit was dug off the ridge top as soon as we exited the ski area boundary. It's on a small representative east-facing slope that does not get skied. The pit was showed good stability. Our only concern was the interface at 80 cm where a wind slab is sitting on an older surface. There's no persistent weak layer (facets) so I think it will heal/bond quickly, but this interface fractured and propagated in with a score of ECTP11, Q2. Photo: GNFAC
