Comments

Small soft slab avalanche in a windloaded chute near the bottom of magog. I could feel the slope was sensitive so I ski cut it without results. 2nd turn thru the chute released a small soft slab avalanche. Fairly small and not very threatening.

The snow was very inconsistent today. Many pockets of instability
