What a great piece of terrain for having a look at what the new snow and winds have produced! We found reactive wind slab on E facing slopes. Shooting cracks, and thin slabs failing on Tuesday's Melt Freeze Crust. Small pockets giving big clues to what one might find in bigger terrain! Other aspects heavily wind affected, and stripped pretty lean from our North winds of late. Decent turns to be had mid slope and into the trees.
