Hello,
 
Ski toured in the Hector Lake area today. Of note was the numerous witnessed cornice releases which in some cases were quite large. The cornices however did not trigger any of the fans below. Also, at tree line many convex features with the right angle had slid naturally down about 30cm. On the up side, the skiing was good.....we just kept it to lower angled terrain with no overhead hazard.
 
Enjoy the turns!
