Comments

saw several 30-40cm deep crowns on steep open slopes with debris running well into the trees. size 2+ with one propagating full ridge line. most of these seem to be from thursday or friday.

we payed safe / mellow on the fast supportive storm snow and saw no cracking or woofing. the storm snow has consolidated over the crust. definitely potential for large avalanches.
