Cold sunny to start. Wind mod. from the west. Hardening wind slab prevalent at and above tree line. Slabs cut getting to top of Zymy trees that ran on recent crust. Was not hard to find them on most convexities. Propagated out and stayed chunky. Turned us back from doing tree runs. Naturals from many ridge tops in eastish facing upper bowls. Pic from Zymbuk three ran far. Looks like skier triggered size 1 slab from yesterday in Powder 8's mid bowl at convexity as well. Sloughing running farther today too. Lower Dome down into Upper Phayzer tree runs remained soft and fluffy.
