Woody Ridge

Skied Central Park glades on the west face of Woody Ridge today. Lots of fresh powder up high, especially at and below treeline. Open gullies like those of Central Park 1 and 2 still had visible rocks and what looked like a shallower snowpack. Dug a snow pit at 44.98558, -109.92819 just below 9400 ft in an open area on a 29º slope 276º W. Total snow depth was 110 cm at that location. There is a defined crust 67-68 cm off the ground that all the recent snow from the past few days is sitting on top of. We got an ECTP-22 on this crust/new snow interface. We also got a CT-12 SP at 18cm above the ground on an old layer of (what looked to be) rounding faceted snow grains. The snowpilot profile attached should illustrate our snow pit and test results. Skies were broken and we were in and out of a mix of cloud and blue sky - winds were calm and temperatures stayed cold all day.
