Comments
Several long - 3 to 5m - shooting cracks on convex rolls. Roughly NW aspects. 10 to 20cm deep. Unsure of angle but not overly steep. Resting on decomposing fragments - did not look like facets. Also triggered a small wind slab on moderate terrain that had been extensively skied (likely on the weekend) cracking was obvious.
