Rocky/ Bouldery areas were unsupportive particularly on N facing terrian. Decent skiing in the South meadows. Strong south winds led to wind slabs in most alpine terrian particularly S and SW. Shooting cracks up to 5 m in the alpine. Several fresh size 1 winds slabs mostly out of unskiable E and N alpine terrian over the day. Got a couple of large whumpfs in the south facing meadows. The October crust doesn't exist on steep south facing terrian at treeline but the October facets on the ground produced the large settlements. Skin track over the shoulder is very thin and recommend to walk the steep bits.
