Very touchy day at the gorge. From 10km upwards there is visible slabs that came across the road, we followed the grader up as he cleared the road and parking spots where necessary. The new storm snow is quite heavy and very reactive on the bed surface below. We witnessed multiple 1-1.5 slab avalanches 30-40cm deep in spaced out trees over convexities or steep slopes.
