Region
Provo » American Fork » Timpooneke
Location Name or Route
North East Ridge of North Timp
Comments
Compression tests failed at 50cm along the indicated weak layer, not 20cm as listed.
Further warming would be likely to increase the instability of the weak interface 20cm from the surface.
No avalanches, natural or otherwise were observed in the north timp basins along my track. As previously observed, there are very large cornices along the main North Timp ridgeline. Stability was good enough to feel comfortable skiing the route, but further warming will change that.
