Big loop in the lizard range today. Saw some old natural debris from the last storm cycle, size 2 persistent slabs 60-100cm deep triggered by cornice fall, one of these naturals out of each bowl north from the resort. Very consistent, almost identical avys with long run lengths terminating on large benches.
Not much wind affect below 2000m, evidence of preferential distribution during the storm but no blowing snow since. Not a breath of wind today
Strong solar was keeping us warm but the snow surface remained cold!
No signs of instability in the chutes around 1800m, we avoided larger slopes above 1800m, and gave them a wide berth while travelling.
