We skinned up to the lake on Thursday, spent the night and woke up early covered in about 30 cms of fresh snow. Bailed on Cayoosh mountain summit due to a lot of new snow overnight, more than expected. we made it through the steep trees and decided to turn around on the upper bench. Dug a pit just to see whats up and found pretty predictable results according to the previous reports. a crust 60 cms down and a crust 85 cms down. A compression test showed a crack on both weak layers, (8 x wrist) 40 cms down, (6x shoulder) 60 cms down. The riding was amazing though, all the way down.
