Flanders Snowpit

Flanders Snowpit

This three foot deep snowpack was breaking near the ground on facets.  ECTP22,Q1 was our test score.  The pit was at 9,330 feet on a southeast facnig slope.  We were not excited to find the weak snow propagating fractures and we stuck to terrain that was not exposed to avalanches.  Photo: GNFAC
