Skied today Flute - Flute Backside (Se slopes down to Oboe Creek) up to Oboe then the east slopes through the trees to Singing Pass trail.
Then another lap down from Peak chair to Bagel Bowl to Peak to Creek/
TONS of snow; wind-transported light (well for us) fluffy goodness insanity down through Flute and Oboe. Not too shabby too in Peak to Creek. More to come
Dug a hasty pit. Remind me what HS means? I don't have the OGRS memorized doh
12.01.06 1823 m; overcast; winds SE 5-10 10:40am
Slope 38degrees; NE
Snow depth 245 CTM 16 at about 55 cms and 65 cms both not SP or CS. No results down below - didn't worry about temps so excuse the lack of other data.
I also kicked the cornice in the to middle portion of the slope down from FLute Backside to Oboe Creek loose; it had formed nicely and released satisfyingly easily. Since it dropped on to a bench it didn't run very far.
No sluff; reaction or any naturals seen on anything we skied but viz was moderate to poor

There are so many acronyms in snow science that I don't know that I wish I knew.
HS = ?
OGRS = ?
CTM = something to do with compression test failing at 16 taps?
SP = sudden planar?
CS (sic) = sudden collapse?
Nice pics. Like golden powder said, that tree pic is $$.Last edited by Toby; 01-13-2006 at 01:27 AM.
