Cypress Peak Storm Slab

Saw several natural size 1 to 2 on varied aspects. On this line we first dropped a small cornice on the slope with no reaction, then ski cut the entrance with still no reaction. Not convinced it was safe I dropped in with a secondary ski cut and safe zone in mind. 30cm crown that propagated across the slope down and around a rocky band. The storm snow has not yet bonded well, and most aspects over 35 degrees did not seem safe. In sheltered locations the snow was much deeper than expected 60cm+ penetration on snowmobiles. Riding was excellent but seems like it's best to wait to get on any terrain of consequence
