Comments

Triggered a sz 2 wind slab on a cross loaded N facing run on the eastern end of molars ridge at roughly 2000m. Failure on mid Feb surface hoar down roughly 40cm.

Skiing out we came across numerous old avalanches spanning almost the whole pillow field on the ski out. This seemed to have failed on the mid Feb interface down roughly 40cm. Not sure when this occurred but it would have been in the last 48hrs.
