Blackmore Lake

Yesterday we toured in the area west of Blackmore Lake. We observed a natural slide of the new snow layer below a cornice (attached photo). The new snow felt poorly bonded on all aspects we travelled on (North, East and South). An unfortunate gear malfunction cut our time short and a pit was not dug. Multiple 'ski cuts' on the skin track revealed the new snow had the energy to move, but, at least in areas without substantial wind loading, did not form a cohesive slab.
