Comments
Pit results. NE facing 1880m 35deg open slope at treeline. HS 235cm on wind loaded lee slope. CTM 15 sudden planer (block slid off) on what looks like marbles down 70cm. Consistent results with 2 columns. Likely from the Dec 3rd warm event. We stayed away from this type of slope and opted for lower angle tree skiing. No other signs of avalanche clues.
