Went ski touring today at Black Prince. About 25 - 30 cm of recent low density storm snow at the end of the day with practically no wind (where we were = treeline and below!) made for excellent skiing. At the turn around knob for the regular Black Prince slope, we could see a smallish (sz. 1.5) natural soft slab release in the alpine bowl up and climbers left of us. No skier triggering of slab avalanches obeserved, but the lack of cohesiveness within the new snow makes for pretty wild sluffing in steep terrain, which can well get you into trouble if trees are in your way!
As we left around 4PM it continued to snow at about 2cm / hour. Driving on the Spray Lakjes road was pretty adventurous too!
Cheers - enjoy the turns with all the new snow!
