Comments
About 30cm low density most recent HST sitting on top of old wind effect, facets and crusts. Skied from 1750m to 1450m. 4F-1F newly formed windslabs forming on N lees at TL, very reactive to skier traffic with decent propagation. Otherwise, sluffing in steep terrain BTL. Triggered several Sc size 1s, 30-40cm down, down steep gullies with convex start zones. Expecting this problem to become serious with new incoming load this weekend.
