Storming hard with wet and sticky skinning. 30-40 cm of new snow which was riding very deep. Stuck to skiing mellow trees. We were able to break off chunks on a few test slopes which propagated 1-3m, down 30cm on HST interface. We were hearing large natural avalanches in the valley roughly every 5 minutes. Very cool to hear! Didn't end up staying too long. Was still snowing hard when we left.
