Weather
Historic temps taken from BC Hydro Weather station in Pine Pass. https://www.bchydro.com/info/res_hydromet/data/pyn.txt Temps dropping to below -20C the past few days. Anemometer displayed 2-8 km/h around the pit, but there were gusts much harder than this every once in a while.
Snowpack
Decomp/Frag (2mm) 120 cm to 146 (F). Rounds (1mm to 1.5mm) 82 cm to 120 cm (1F). Facets (2mm / 1.5mm) 30 cm to 82 cm (4F to 1F). Facets (2.5mm) 0 cm to 30 cm (P). Quick Column Tests: First Column = CTM5 Small amount of compression noticed in 82-93cm layer. Couldn't spot specific point. No sudden failure. Second Column = No Result Incline: 30 deg Foot penetration was variable. ~36 cm on old ski tracks that we used to walk up into area (covered by last snowfall). Up to my hips (~80cm) off the ski track and near the pit area, so I didn't bother taking accurate depth.
