Notes
From email: "Maiden Voyage to Goose Lake for the season today. Lots of wind drifted snow everywhere and challenging riding conditions. Performed Stability test on shoulder of Mount Fox NE facing slope at 10,300'. HS 180cm. ECTP2 40cm down on Buried Surface Hoar. ECTP 23 90cm down on MFcr with 1-2mm Facets. Saw several recent wind slab avalanches in steeper windloaded terrrain around Goose Lake, but limited activity was seen on Henderson. Lots of co/cr while touring on Mount Fox. D2 avalanche on east facing Mount Fox that appears to be on the SH layer, triggered by a cornice drop."
