Spent the weekend at Brian Waddington Hut. Snowed heavily throughout the weekend. We stayed in low angle trees and could not see activity in the alpine due to poor visibility. Estimate 100cm from Friday night to Sunday mid-day. Was still snowing hard when we skied out. New storm snow felt reactive on Sunday. Ski cut a storm slab (Sz 1) in a steeper section of the ski out at ~1600m elevation. Ski out was challenging with very wet/heavy snow below 1500m Dug pit Saturday morning 11am at 1850m, NNE aspect, 29deg slope angle HS 210cm 15cm new unconsolidated snow on top of melt freeze crust CT19 sudden planar on old crust 60cm down ECT30 full propogation on same layer (see picture)
