Adventure skiing has returned to the lower elevations of the Ogden Mountains.  Below Approximately 8,000 feet there is a stout Rain/Melt Freeze crust on all aspects as Doug had mentioned yesterday.  The crust in places is 8inches thick and at about 7,700 feet is around and inch thick, which makes for interesting skiing.  Once the rain crust is isolated, it does slide.  At higher elevation I found a shaded north-northeast aspect to dig a pit hoping that I could effect the weak facets form Oct and Nov.  I was unable to effect the weak layer with and Extended Column Test but was able to pull out the slab by prying (See Video).  Maybe do to the ceanothus that was lingering in the facet layer or because the slab had capped the weak layer in that spot.  One positive thing from today's tour is that skin wax is no longer necessary and the sun was out.
