Comments
Amazing unconsolidated storm snow on top of a supportive layer, overlying facets. Storms snow was 15-20cm on uptrack, much deeper on slope we skied. Supportive pencil hard layer averaged 10-15cm thick, showed no propagation propensity. No development of wind slabs observed. Saw two Na size 1 loose dry avalanches release from alpine wind affected start zones above.
Day was overcast and snowed S-1 from morning until 1500 when sky changed to broken. Temps slowly rose from -14 to -8.
