We found some nice powder turns on Log Cabin. The wind started blowing from the south around 1100am and didn't take long to start blowing some of the new snow into reactive wind slabs on N/NE/E cross loaded features. Ski cutting small, safe slopes produced slab movement and cracking so we kept our skiing to well supported, planar, sheltered, slopes as these places offered the best skiing anyway.
