<p>Really gross snowpack where we skied in the burn. An average of 120cm of snow on the ground composed of ~30cm of somewhat supportive dense storm slab over facets to ground. Widespread small whumpfs on the uptrack and ski down. Remote triggered a sz 1 on an open gully sidewall from the trees, though poor visibility and flat light didn't allow us to see crown size or depth.</p>
