Comments

Reactive soft slabs breaking on surface hoar, about 45 cm deep. We skier triggered a SS-ASc-R2-D1-O (SH) on a small terrain feature below treeline and a handful of small pillows exfoliated as well. Also one recent natural SS-N-R3-D2-O from near treeline start zone at the top of Reudi’s presumably the same layer, about 15 cm on the bed surface.

About 5cm new snow by midday
