Day skinning up Fraser Lake Rd. Skied a slightly steeper line above the lake off of Fraser Peak ridge. New snow on the way up ranged from 1-7cm. Wet, no Icy crust under new snow I n most spots, but supportive. Skied a gully with a NE aspect at 1170m elevation, highest point I skied today. Gully was very wind loaded, up to 15cm in the gut. Snow was consolidated and had formed a somewhat firm wind slab but not quite cohesive enough to be reactive. No cracking or collapsing. I'd believe that higher up slabs are firm enough to be reactive. Saw continued modest snow transport as we skinned up. Consistent breeze all day, especially windy at top of gully on the ridge.
