Mt Ellis Observation
Date
Activity
Skiing
Roughly 2 inches of new snow in the parking lot at Bear Canyon. Up high on the top of Mt Ellis at 8300 feet there was 6 to 8 inches. Did a column test and it broke on the new snow layer above the crust about 23 cm down from the top at 3 taps from the elbow. Then we kept going and got it to fail at the weak layer near the bottom of the snowpack at 6 taps from the shoulder.
