Black Prince was in fine form today, believe the hype! Plenty of fresh snow to go around still. In the trees we saw no wind affect at all, but as we progressed to treeline and alpine wind slab rapidly became a concern. Wind slabs were very spatially diverse in their distribution, so had to play some heads up hockey. Check out the photos for a natural size 2 that ripped out in the last 24 hrs, we guessed that it went in the early hours this morning.
