Comments
Signs of previous activity in top 50cm from during previous storm 48hrs+, where the Dec 11 SH is present is easy to initiate on unsupported or convex features.
This is a late report as we were camped out, on Friday night it stormed with mod-stg winds through the night and 20cm of HN. We only packed up and departed Saturday with no obs of instability on ride out, but suspect potential for large slabs on the SH and likely WSL in TL.
