Comments

Skied the slack. Up to ~1900m the snow was very sensitive on S, Se And E aspects, lots of shooting cracks and whumpfing and remote-trigered cracks. The snow was not consolidated enough to do too much after cracking, but towards the afternoon seemed to be slabbier. Higher up there was much less of that but we stayed away from the larger slopes. Fair amount of sluffing on the steeper runs.
