Comments
We were up in Serviceberry Canyon out of Ophir today skiing some low angle terrain and we wanted to see what the snow was doing on a more southern aspect. We dug our pit on a SE Aspect at 8600ft, and found that same weak snow that's all around the mountains around Salt Lake. We did an ECT and a CT and had sudden planar fractures at ECT14 and CT10.
