- <p>1 meter slab sitting on facets = bad news! I think our test results showed the sensitivity of the facets when the slab strength (bridging?) is removed from the equation. I think these avalanches are hard to trigger but hard to manage if you find one</p> <p>Saw evidence of roller balls and small wet sluffs - minor but they're out there </p>
Overcast skies and warm temps made the snow surface a mess of moist, dry and wind hammered. Skin glopping was an issue
