Aneroid
On Saturday, Keith and I skied into Aneroid Basin for some observation work and found snow conditions holding up well in spite of the warm temperatures. Our skin track from last week was still visible and we estimated that about 4 inches of new snow fell during the week which has settled to about 2 inches. We measured snow depth in several places to try to better correlate the snow depth information received from the SNOTEL. We made our way up a north aspect slope east of Aneroid Lake and dug a pit at about 7800 feet. More information will be in Friday’s summary!
For those of you watching the Wallowa SNOTEL information, we recently received word that that the Taylor Green SNOTEL has received some work and is sending out good data again. We also updated the link to Sheep Ridge weather on our web site.
I will post more information from our trip to Aneroid, including a picture, in the Forum.
WAC has a busy month coming up! Our fundraiser event is on February 11 at 6 PM in Enterprise. I hope to see many of you there!
Our beacon practice session with Wallowa County SAR will be on February 21 and is open to the general public. RSVP to info@wallowaavalanchecenter.org if you are planning on joining us. There will be extra beacons available if you don’t have your own.
Looks as if we received a nice dusting of snow last night with about 3 inches of new snow in the Wallowa Valley.
