Tamarack Tour

Things have really changed in two days out on Tamarack Pk!

The first thing I noticed is that the snow was very wind affected, with yesterday's tracks blown in and the snow feeling much "slabbier".

I dug a pit in a fairly well wind protected spot at 9500'. The snow depth was 105cm (a pit in a similar location had 135cm of snow).

The old, faceted snow was still there under the Dec 1 crust at 40cm.

I did not get any results from my Compression Test or my Extended Column Test, but when I pried away the columns, they broke on the Dec 1 layer in fairly solid slabs.
