Blackmore

Dug on an E (105deg) slope at 9600 feet on Mt. Blackmore. This was a quick pit not a full profile.

SKY: SCT Wind: L variable 

HS 95cm

ECTN15 down 40cm on 1-2mm facets.

Snow above facets was mostly 4F to 4F+. While there was no propagation observed in the pit, the structure was quite poor. Additional stiffening of the slab and/or loading in the future could likely easily increase the propagation propensity. 

approx. 3-4+mm facets down 60cm were also worth noting.

Recent wind effect was evident on lee slopes. 

We had predetermined that avalanche terrain was "closed" for the day as we were just out collecting info/obs and skied low angle slopes and the rather spicy re-frozen skin track out.
