Great day out with some warm temps and grand views. Observed widespread roller balling off solar aspects below 2300m. Caused noticeable whumpfing and shooting cracks on E aspects at 2400m. Got up to 2500m and had a dig on a NE aspect. HS 80cm. Moderate sudden collapse results down 20cm on the MFcr and 50cm down on the artic facets gave us little confidence so we stepped back from our line. Plan B gave us some epic turns on some lower angle slopes on the way out.
