Comments
Storm snow on polar aspects seemed relatively stable in the am, in the afternoon with the additional load and a little warming the south became reactive. Ski cut a size 1 on a small convexity only 27 or 28 degrees, 1850 meters. The avy control/gas-ex released multiple 2 to 2.5s while we were up there and the pass was closed.
