Took a mid day jaunt up and down Evening ridge, above the access road to
Whitewater ski area.
Nice and sunny and temperatures steady near -12 C. I dug a pit in an open
area below treeline at 1580m (5200'), facing SW. Some easy compression test
results down 10cm above and below a thin (2mm) crust were not a big concern,
being shallow and underlying only loose powder snow.
The surface hoar buried on new year's day was found 55cm below the surface,
not reactive to my first 2 column tests, and shearing reluctantly in the
hard range on the third try.
Ski penetration was 15-20cm, Ski quality and snow stability was good, all in
all a sweet little tour.
