Lots of snow on Duffy E of Cayoosh Pass.  We skied e facing slopes and stayed away from windloaded NW and N slopes.  SH of about 1mm growing below tree line

HS 178 cms at 2090m.  E aspect.  30 degree slope.

Fist 0-27cms
4F 27- 40
1f  40-57

W/S @ 25cms

Dec 3 pineapple 70 cms 7cm thick

Compression test

CTM 11 @25cms
CTM 26 @ 45cms

SShear Med @ 45cms

None of these were sudden planar.  I would rate stability on these aspects GOOD


Some pictures

Approaching the ridgeline.  Lots of skiable aspects which is why I like this place



First run a bit disappointing  as it was too low angle.  Second run was better - Jameson attacks



Nice long runs - each about 400m or 1300 ft of blower powder

Sharon's turn

Nice report.
Thanks.

Lee know's how to get it done too!
