130cm base above 2000m in lee areas. Ullr's windhammer has been out in full force. Soft snow takes the nose of an experienced powder hound to find. Classic highly variable snow. Open areas have stiff hardslab impenetrable to skis. Where the soft snow does exist on steep protected N slopes is where the windslab can be reactive.

Avalanche

2nd ski cut got a pocket of soft slab 10-30cm deep to fracture on a steep immediate lee N aspect running on semi-preserved stellars
