Comments
Clear evidence of crossloading with hollow whumpfing sounds at the crest of ridges on tree triangle and deep light snow in leeward pockets suspect wind transport from SW wind over the past couple of days has something to do with it two firm crusts exist 20 cm down (most recent storm slab) and 30 cm down (december 1st rain crust?) Couloir itself has flushed clear multiple times and there is evidence of sluff compaction and wind activity inside the couloir ski quality was just ok some dust on crust
