SE Whymper

<p>About 10cm new snow, total ski pen about 10-25 cm, depending where you were. Soft snow from the road up to about 1670m (at the tree band halfway up the 3rd pic), where the snow started to be wind affected with some small slabs starting to form. Where there were wind slabs, there were shooting cracks with every step, and a couple larger cracks and whimpfing. We kept below this most of the day, so can’t report snow conditions above </p>
