On February 4th (Sun) skiers found shallow wind slabs on northerly aspects heading up to the Blackmore/Elephant saddle in hasty tests. They observed ECTP18 failure of a wind slab at ~25cm depth in the NE bowl of Alex Lowe Peak and observed recent slide activity in and below Hellmouth couloir. It appeared a small pocket had ripped out of the couloir and a larger slab had triggered in the apron below. Photo: C. Ronemus
