White Rabbit

In Couloir firm Pencil hard snow that was very supportive to all skiers. On approach any areas sheltered from recent winds held 15-25 cm of new snow above 5cm windslab. Underneath this windslab were many intact surface hoar crystals. This slab was not responsive to skier traffic on angles under 30 degrees that we traveled on. In areas exposed to wind this new snow had been blown away and slab was closer to 15 cm thick, still unresponsive to skier traffic with no indications of shooting cracks/propagation
