About 10-15 cm of new snow in the last 24h. We easily triggers 2 storm slab while skiing nicky’s notch. One of them propagated very far on steep terrain. The other one went very far down the slope because of steep terrain. Photos are not very clear because of low light on north aspect. Nothing propagated to deeper layers.
