Avalanche Information

Saw a natural slide in the distance. Didn’t get much info just an observation from going up. Start zone was below a crag at around 1700-1800m. Wind loading that naturally went.

Snowpack

Did a column test at 1800m. 20cmnew snow on a crust layer. Observed localised cracking around feet on the way up. Didn’t propagate more than 10cm from ski. Resistant planar at 27 tap. Skied down SW slope on steep terrain. Observed no signs of instability. Pow was great!
