Quick report
Heavy snow, limited visibility, snow actively falling on rain crust from last Saturday. We travelled cautiously and chose this spot for its safe runout and had multiple people in safety positions. We expected this face to release a small wind slab. We stayed off all steep slopes prior to and after this.
