New load

<p>Lots of new snow, with riding conditions improving every hour. Snowing heavily. Very strong windgusts in the alpine putting stress on the new load, but much calmer BTL. Two of the three of us triggered 0.5 avalanches that stepped down to the raincrust and propagated while riding over a steep wind-affected convex roll. Today’s snow (10 to 20cm) didn’t bond fully to yesterday’s snow (20 to 30cm) either.</p>
