11-27-04 Fish Creek Knob

UAS Level I course optional field trip day, lots of heavy but decent new snow turning to muck as freezing drizzle begins. Setting up string site and creep columns.
Tree plops, frequent as snow level goes from 200m last night to over 700m today.
Jill Michalak takes densities for profile, string and creep column site, Fish Creek Knob.
Kai Ottesen and Jill Michalak descend in light rain and peanut butter powder, Fish Creek Knob. Not a bad ride on a snowboard, this snow would have been challenging on skis.
