Took the high road today and made it above the rain line (1600m) where it was snowing about 2-3cm an hour. There was 10cm of new snow overnight and 20-25cm accumulated throughout the storm. This new snow has developed into a slab which is easy to trigger. Stuck to low angle terrain where the snow was cream cheese.
