Comments
Travelled from 1700-2100m today, mostly riding at TL anf BTL. Significant wind slab development in Alp with strong winds from S. Cracking and whumpfing most noticeable from TL up. From TL down storm accumulations gave ski pen to max of 45 on SW slopes with tree band protection. Ski cuts failing on facets over 170216 cr on slopes over 40 degrees. Best riding from 2000m down to 1750m.
