Sled skills day for the SoRo team!
Despite lingering low clouds and fog, making avalanche hunting challenging, we headed to Coal Creek to hone our snowmobiling skills and assess the snowpack. At 1750 m, the snowpack measured 110 cm deep. We found surface hoar in open cut blocks and sparsely treed areas, but the mid and lower snowpack was well settled. We observed a buried layer of surface hoar down 80 cm but it was unreactive to all tests.
With a temperature of -7 and calm wind, conditions were pretty perfect for a day dedicated to digging out and flipping over sleds.
A big thanks to the Fernie Snowmobile Association for the perfectly groomed trails - always a treat!
