Comments

Skied Saturday/Sunday.

Saturday was warm heavy snow, we stayed very conservative with very few avalanche signs at/below tree line.

Sunday we went a bit higher (2236m) with a cold morning, -10 snow was significantly lighter and starting to consolidate. We didn’t see any major sluffing. Good coverage, with some avoidance of sharks.

Great day out, felt comfortable decision making and skiing at/below tree line.
