Comments

Out at Bullmoose around 1300m.

HS60cm in sheltered areas.

Extreme SW winds, windward aspects scoured to ground, significant drifting in the lee.

Several wind slab failures from the past 24 hours up to 50cm deep, stepping down and sliding on ground.

Wind slab very fragile with widespread shooting cracks. +2c throughout the day.
