Notes

Wind slabs were the issue today. A lot had changed since Thursday when it was all sunshine and deep powder. Winds picked up and changed the landscape.

We found two small wind slabs that had released on their own, then watched a big one release froM a falling cornice, then triggered a small one (expected). 

Overall, winds were the perfect speeds for moving snow which they did all day. Looking south, there was a massive plume coming off Mt Bole.
