20+ cm of HN with mod to strong wind in the morning Frequent flyer and STS both ran full path in the am. Lots of Na wind slabs coming down Cheops as well. Every unsupported rolls were releasing on Jan 30th sun crust/facets combo (around 60cm down) but did not propagate very far. Snow became heavy and moist in the afternoon.
