Dug a pit at 1985m on our way to Reco Mtn. ECT 21 collapse 55cm deep on surface hoar, slope was about 25 degrees. Amazing skiing conditions on Monday, no signs of instability while riding. Went back in the area on Tuesday with an extra 15-20cm of new snow. Few cracking while setting the skin track. Amazing deep day of skiing with conservative terrain choice. Total of about 45cm of new snow at 2000m by tuesday late afternoon.
