Tamarack

We toured up to the top of Tamarack today to check out conditions and take a few turns.

We didn't see or hear any signs of instability on the way up, which surprised us.

We dug a pit at approximately 9500' on a 27 degree north facing protected slope.  Total snow depth was 135cmm.

There was just over 50cm of new snow on top of a firm and thick crust. From the bottom up, there was 15cm of rotten snow, then a weak crust, with another 50cm of rotten snow above this crust. 

Then, at about 85cm from the bottom was another crust, on top of which was the 50cm of new snow. 

ECTN 15 and ECTP 21, both at 90cm from the surface (45cm from the ground).
