Savagely cold and windy day with moderate to strong winds out of the north all day. Reverse loading most areas and even stripping all the storm snow off in some spots down to the crust. Still some whumpfing and settling in the trees but nowhere near as much as yesterday. Remote triggered a small pocket then jumped on the hangfire to produce results pictured. Slab was 35cm deep max, time and wind have settled storm snow amounts compared to yesterday’s 60cm slabs. Ski quality still great, just affected by heavy tree bombs that fell overnight in the wind
