All north east aspects were cracking, and releasing - south west much more stable

Avalanche

All slopes on this aspect were behaving the exact same, snow not bonding and storm slab releases. South and West skied well and stable. Ski cut this slope at top in trees and no release or cracking... entered in and in first turn in open pocket of trees slope released and ran to bottom (approx 200m)
