Top of burnt trees and fayzurs

ekennedy, Saturday 7th January, 2023 11:40PM
<p>Rain until tower 11, snowing on and off above that for the day. Decent skiing above 1000m, but turned heavy around 900-1000m and slushy around 700-800m. From a pit around early fayzurs, we found heavy storm slab above a layer of hoar frost (20cm) then wind slab above a facet layer (50cm-ish). Storm slab collapsed after 7 elbow taps, wind slab after a few full shovel taps. A few whumps and cracks near the skin track. </p>
