Mummy (Flanders Side)

We left the car with subdued expectations this morning, but were happy to find the new snow bonding well where it hadn’t been slab-ified by the wind. Near the top of Mummy’s North Couloir a shallow (<6”) soft slab broke at my feet as I was wallowing up the boot pack and ran a decent way down the gully- harmless in that spot but with more exposed terrain above we turned tail and enjoyed some excellent skiing. No other signs of instability, but the new snow that fell throughout the morning was lower density and will transport easily if and when the wind returns.
