Comments
Some whumpfing above 2200m where the rain crust seemed weaker and less supportive. We could feel the storm snow settle as we were skinning up. At treeline, the new storm snow seemed to have more slab like properties and some minor wind effect. We decided to avoid alpine and open treeline, and steep slopes. We didn’t experience any propagation or slabs releasing on decent. We didn’t see any natural activity in the area.
