Comments

We were able to trigger several size 1.5 wind slab avalanches on south facing slopes today. The avalanches ran on steep alpine slopes on a melt freeze crust from 10 to 40 cm deep.

We were able to find some pockets of preserved powder in the alpine still, but the skiing is variable. It was windy all day, strong gusty outflows.
