Comments

80 cm fresh snow from Thursday night to Saturday morning. Total snow was 250 cm. Only top 20 cm was reacting to skiing with small sluffs. Dug a pit and did a column test, there was a reactive layer with 4 heavy blows at 80 cm from the surface that made us weary of larger exposed slopes. No signs of natural avalanche anywhere.
