Clean break under the new snow

This snowpit was dug near the top of the Apron at Bridger Bowl. The stability test score of ECT 9 means it propogated all the way across and slid quickly on the 9th tap. The weak layer was 30 cm from the surface in a 90cm snowpack. The interface between the old/new snow may remain unstable through the weekend, especially with wind-loading. Photo: Roy Taylor
