Reactive conditions today in KHMR slackcountry. Numerous naturals and lots of new snow had us skiing in trees. On W aspect around 2100m we had one skier remote size 1 that was about 30m wide and 40 cm deep, but it did not run far, maybe 20m. It failed as a very soft slab and then stopped possibly because the slope was not quite steep enough or the slab was not cohesive enough because it was blower powder.
