About 10 cm of snow that fell Friday night. On lee slopes we noticed the formation of small wind slabs, about 2-3 cm thick. Moderate winds from the ouest up top, and very wind affected. Did not observe any whoomps or cracking. Skied the secondary bowl, and south east bowl of proper. Sunny day in the morning with a bit of overcast in the afternoon. Overall very nice day of skiing !

The result was on a layer of facets down 52 cm, above the rain crust, which was unreactive. The new snow that fell Friday night was not wind affected and not cohesive in the area that I did the test.
