Big Sky Ski Patrol

This pit is the same as Mitch Upton's pit, I am entering it for more practice with SnowPilot.

Winds were calm at the time of the pit profile, but gale force at higher elevations. Old growth trees were falling across the valley, and at least 20 trees were down in the trail as we descended back to the parking lot. Max gust was 89mph at 1500.

Severe wind event. Significant downfall throughout the area in the late afternoon.
