Comments

Good riding in Christiana on Friday. Didn’t trigger or see anything slide but concerning signs

ECTPV down 65 cm on the buried persistent SH/crust layer. N aspect @ 1860m. HS3.7m

Full cash register planar as we were cutting the back resulting in a 65cm slab shearing off and breaking into our two storm slabs of roughly 35cm each as it rolled off. Cleared the pit and lightly stomped above to show our two layers (photo)

Also lots of whumpfing and shooting cracks down as low as 1400mm same aspect when punching trail
