    Up to 45cm of HST fell through the forecast area, over-loading the already weak persistent slab and running far and fast.

    Persistent slabs remain a problem. The main concern is for areas exposed to large triggers such as cornices and large South facing alpine terrain exposed to afternoon sun.
