Solid Like a Potato | UNITED STATES, IDAHO | 02/13/2008, by snowNinjas
The video is from Freeman Peak on Feb. 12 - We dug a pit on a 36-degree slope in 9.5' of snow, and the Reutsch block was completely stable - it was bombproof. We had a super-sweet day of skiing the northerly aspects of the Boise Mountains - it was like a perfect day of spring skiing, sunny and 35 degrees.
Video of our Reutsch Block Test.
We will be posting some more photos of the trip soon!
Note: This data is just one piece of information and should not be the determining factor whether a slope is safe or not. Use this as a reference to compare against your own conclusions and observations.
