Comments
Skinned up hollyburn SW aspect. 5 to 25 cm light-ish fluffy snow on solid bootable crust. Deeper higher up and in wind loaded features.
Fresh snow formed a cohesive slab that was very reactive on the crust. Every feature steep enough to slide was sliding with ski cuts and remote release from shooting cracks.
Size 1-1.5 observed. Not stepping down under the crust.
