Comments
Wind slabs getting more and more easily triggered on little rolls in Mellow terrain of Hermit meadows. Two small size 1 were triggered, one from below (see picture 1) and one as a ski cut skiing down the roll but with a propagation of around 30m wide. We were glad to stick to low consequence terrain on our way down.
