Everything over 30 degrees slid with 10-15cm crowns mid storm. There was little remaining hazard because everything that was triggerable had already slid. It started snowing at noon on the 19th and the new storm snow seemed to be bonding well to all the sluff and debris. We rode a 30-40 degree bowl and I booted up a 45 degree chute. Skiing was pretty good although vis was terrible.
