Ellis - Burn

Quick pit with D. Chabot and D. Kaveney. Similar structure to the pit we dug just down the ridge and prior to this one. Snowpack looks good. We skied the slope.

Rep Crk/Central Park

Dug w Logan DeMarcus. Previous wind loading in some areas, but the pit was in a protected location. This was one of the thinner/weaker spots we found. The problem layer of near-surface facets was not present in another pit we dug at higher elevation and more westerly aspect.
