Report for today and yesterday (Jan10). Jan10 wind was Mod from NE with noticeable slab development on W/S/E features. We were able to ski cut two size 1 windslabs on S, SE isolated features. No naturals observed.
Avalanche
Slabs forming on lee features were reactive to skier triggering. Propagating and running whole features. This new slab 1F slab overlays older P windslab that we were also able to trigger when conducting crown profiles.
