Comments

Rode all time conditions the day before (Saturday) in the same area, with no sign of instabilities below tree line.

We were First group out this morning with evident signs of natural crust sluffing (micro slab releases) on features above 35* angles. We observed this crust on all aspects, up to 1850m. Crust was a were .5cm thick, it is suspect this could be of concern for large slopes and features with the next storm/warming cycle.
