- <p>basically its sketchy out there, observed and intentionally triggered soft slabs did not step down to older layers and was limited to the new snow and slope angles of 35 degrees</p>
Its sketchy up there! Tight trees were the name of the game. Open areas at or beyon 35 degrees around 7500' sloughed naturally and were much more reactive. Several soft slabs were initiated remotely at this elevation near rollovers.
