Comments
Lots of very small size 1 avalanches ski cut 20-40cm deep, slab and loose, failing on Dec 13th facets and often entraining all the facetted snow down to the Dec 7th Crust. Not much more than 5m wide due to fairly cohesionless slab, only on 40 degree rolls, and not running very far due to benchy terrain. If there was any more snow or wind we would have felt uncomfortable skiing from the crest directly down to the highway.
