Skied some steep N facing lines in the Rohr basin before exiting out Stellar bowl. Sheltered polar aspects skied great, though there was some sluffing and entrainment on steeper lines. No obvious wind affect until right up on ridgecrest. In these areas we found a thin windslab that was totally manageable. We avoided solar aspects as the damage from the Sunday sun was evident all over with wet loose and pinwheeling visible. This was most apparent on steep slopes that catch the sun earlier - lower angle areas fared better. The day was sunny but still felt cool and we didn’t notice any new sun damage while we were there. Exit out Stellar was awesome - very straightforward with minimal shwacking.
