Lots of signs of instability. Strong winds blowing all day from the south west with significant wind loading. As we walked down onto a little slope below the access trail we had the slope collapse and crack. We investigated further and found a 30cm wind slab reacting on facets, total Hight of Snow was around 80cm.
