Performed an ECT test high on the east face of Mt Ellis at 12:30 pm on 4/7/2024. Found 8” of medium density powder on a 3” ice crust with 2’ of lowish density slush beneath the crust. Got an ECTP 14 that broke at the ground. The ice crust seemed to hold the slope together well enough to support a skiers weight yesterday. Concerned that additional warming today could make this slope dangerous.
