testing from Clarkston
Date
We skied up to 9230 on a south slope of Miller Ridge in sheep creek basin. Intermittent clouds and sun, no wind. Much wind affected snow, cross loading. 2-4 inches of fresh snow. HS at 9000 was 100-110cm. Started finding wind slab on rotten base at about 8900 then at 9200 where slope steepened we observed 3-5 foot shooting cracks and turned around. Slope was 27-35. Had climbed thru whitebark regrowth from 88 fire.
Back down at 8400', snowpack was very shallow and temp. was 32 degrees.Observer Name
