Rode west side of kokanee park. NE aspects had unconsolidated loose snow. SE aspects a bit more slabby. Hand shear test at treeline on a SE slope had ~10cm storm slab releasing resistant planar requiring moderate force to release. Shallow points near ridgeline had some slabby releases setting skin track. Though, surprisingly not as much windslab as we expected.
