Hollyburn in the wet

guillaume.colley, Wednesday 23rd October, 2024 9:33PM

<p>Went to check Hollyburn/Strachan in the storm. Noticed every steep slope west of Hollyburn slid quite a long way so we turned around and took a mellow way up to Hollyburn. We remotely triggered a small unconsequential slab just below Hollyburn (photo). Skiing was heavy snow at the top with pinrolls to drenched snow and raining at the parking lot.</p>
