Skiing

Ellis has seen alot of skier traffic since my last submission for Ellis on December 15, 2022.  A quick pit was dug on a south east facing slope at 7936 feet.  Height of snow = 90 cm.  Bottom faceted layer was 25 cm thick.  The top 65 cm of snow is beginning to consolidate into a slab.  We did not experience any signs of snow instabilty.  My previous submitted observation for Ellis noted surface sluffs, yesterday we had none.  I believe there was a slight temperature inversion as we all remained comfortable.
