<p>Multiple loud woomfs and one small slab released on backside of Whitetail. Issues only on W-SW aspect, everything else was very stable. Slab was 10-12inch thick sitting on a thin ice layer. Ice was not found in at least some other areas at the same elevation.
5-10 cm new snow overnight, wet up until about 1600 m. Decently dry above. Slab was dryer snow.
Spooky skiing on the backside. Stay safe folks. </p>
