Skiing
On Saturday we found very different ECT results in our two snow pits. ECTX on the lover meadow got us excited to ski steeper runs off the Earnie Miller Ridge. We hiked up another 500 feet and dug another pit and got ECTF 7. Fail on the ground sugary snow layer. I never saw such a clean break. The whole block fell and leaned on me without breaking. See the photo.
