Comments

Storm day turned bluebird, witnessed a Na storm slab cycle to sz 2.5 on all aspects in the morning during the peak of the winds. Continued small skier triggered storm slab on unsupported pillows and steep roles under the lodge in the Afternoon. One notable Sz 3.5 storm slab or windslab stepped down to a deeper layer on a south-east aspect. Viewed from ridge across so estimated on depths and witch. Average probably 1.5-2m, 300-400m wide.
