Comments
Calm and very mild day with wet heavy snow and tree bombs falling everywhere. Ski pen was 5ish cm.
We did a quick profile on an east aspect at 1650m and found 10cm HST on top of 310cm HS and the top 100cm was 4 fingers to 1 finger. Compression test had sudden planer results at 120cm, duplicated on the second column with moderate taps.
Didn't observe any avalanches today but spotted a number of recent size 1-1.5 on most aspects.
