Quick Observation

We didn't ski because it was too dangerous. I observed evidence of recent avalanches in almost each chutes/couloirs. We tried to get up but we experienced lots of whumphing, shooting cracks, drum-like sounds and sastrugi. It was a cold day but sunny. We tried to ski the South and South-West aspect. We saw avalanche evidences on a 27 degrees and more. The wind came from the north but It was light. We got a very easy and easy with the compression test and a block of 10-15cm pop (see pictures). Under the block: 10cm of surface hoar. The rest of the column was stable. I saw lot of hoar on slopes so be careful if you ski after un recent snowfall.
