Comments

Really good day. Noticed storm slab instability early on. Put some ski cuts on top of rollers before our drop. Wasn't low enough. Triggered a .5 which did not run very far. Roughly 10m wide and 15cm deep. Some cornice whacking also showed the storm slab issue. All in all we rode conservatively and enjoyed some really nice powder.
