Notes

Skiers on Mt. Ellis noticed unstable conditions on New Years Day, experiencing multiple collapses. Test pits yielded unstable results, and they found "the base of the old/ faceted snow was comparatively better consolidated but got progressively weaker near the top and would barely stay in the pit wall just under the ~14” of newer snow."
