Observation Date: 02/20/2021

Route/Location:
Skinned and skied the E facing ridge on Mill Point with goal of skiing the peak down to Tagg Alder.

Weather:
Cloudy with brief patches of sun and around 20 degrees. It began to snow early afternoon.

Wind:
Morning was calm, early afternoon winds picked up to 10-20mph.

New Snow: 6-12″

Avalanche Activity:
We experienced wumphing and collapsing on a NE facing aspect on the ridge South of Tagg Alder around 7400′. We dug a pit on a NE aspect at 7600′ and observed an ECTP-10 @ 20cm soft storm slab, and an ECTP29 @95cm on a thin facets layer on what we assumed was the January 13 crust. Snow depth was 205cm.

Other Comments:
We skied down from our pit at 7600′ deciding that our pit results and worsening visibility were indicators to go have a beer at the car.
