General Observations

Bad visibility. A group of 7 hiked in from the McCallum Creek road and dug a pit at 4700ft on a 40 degree south facing slope. The test showed a snow depth of 85.5 cm, there was about 15cm of new wet powder on top and 30cms down there was a weak layer of wind crust. Our tap test broke on 11 at the first shoulder tap. We decided to ski a less steep slope. The snow was great!
