Hi,
Dale M, TK and I skined from the Horstman Gl (access is from the top of Seventh
Heaven Chair) up to the Blackcomb Glacier and are doing laps there.
The average Ski Pen is 10-40 lots of wind distribution last night. Sometime we
could feel the crusst left by yesterdays rain.
Foot Pen is 30-50 cm.
The patrol's explosive control left a few small crown lines (up to 30m across
and up to 40cm deep)
We dug a test pit at 6780' on the Blackcomb Glacier. 1230pm
There is approx 20cm on the Nov 26 crust (which is moist and pencil hard and
5-10 cm thick) below that the snow is 1 Finger minus - Pencil hard down to 1
meter down.
We got a moderate compression test at 38cm down on 1-2mm decomposing fragments
(clean fracture).
And another Moderate to Hard Compression Test down 67 cm 1mm decomposing
fragments (clean fracture).
Now its back to Skiing.
Dave Sarkany.
