Recon mission to Brockton point just as the storm rolled in. HS ~200cm. Snowing 3cm per hour down to 500m.

Dug a pit on a 35 degree, East facing slope, and found it harder than expected to trigger a release - 4 taps from the shoulder.

That said, with the new snow and a shift in wind direction from South to East, this will likely turn in to a low probability, high consequence layer in the coming days.

Skiing was floaty and fun, the snow was ideal for dropping off big features.

35cm of storm snow sitting on top of a hard crust. Had to work hard to get it to release, 4 taps from the shoulder. Unable to trigger release by jumping or stomping. .
