The sun is out and the temperatures are soaring: 49 at Paradise today! Come out and ski in your shorts.
This week's snow pit was dug just below the bathrooms at Panorama Point. Except for the surface, the top 100 cm of snowcontains6 layers that are all the same hardness and temperature and a mixture of rain crust, ice crust, and rounds. There was about 5 cm of heavy snow on top of a rain crust as of yesterday afternoon. By noon today there was a good 5 cm of slush on top.
Stabililty tests for the snow pit were as follows:ECTX
