Busy Torpy day

<p>Great day out at the Torpy Burn, along with everyone else! Recent storm snow was unconsolidated for the first couple hundred meters vertical above the road, then had more slab characteristics with some wind effect higher up. Pit at 1560 m on S aspect in open trees had 140 cm snow depth, easy results in the upper 10 cm, moderate results (ctm14) down 30 cm on a ~1-2 cm rain crust. We had small failures in the storm slab under our skis on short steep sections with minimal propagation. Lots of fun to be had while staying off slopes with higher consequence. </p>
