Comments
Over 10cm overnight and about 5cm through the day with Moderate winds was a good recipe for a reactive storm slab Today.
The storm slab was reactive to skier traffic and natural triggers at treeline down 10-20cm. The slab was gliding a buried rime crust.
We skied trees and avoided steep open slopes. Few ski cuts and natural observed.
