Blackmore Mtn, East face
Date
Activity
Skiing
Went for a tour up Blackmore, dug a pit high on the East face. Included approx location. Snow depth was 100cm, I got ECT-P 21 in my test. Broke 35cm down, fist to 4F cohesive wind slab breaking on a 5cm thick layer of 1-2mm facets. Q1, and at least two additional obvious layers from 60 cm to the ground. Lotta facets from 40cm to the ground.
That kind of slab is my ultimate scary moderate. I backed off the slope and skied mellow terrain out. Calm skies, cold. Snow had been impacted by wind all the way down, funky and variable. Beautiful day to be out though!
