Very little slab properties on this slope and other steep slopes. It felt like there was very little cohesion everywhere, except for directly leeward features. This was the only pocket of wind affected snow. And similar slopes did not avalanche. In the treeline, open treeline and below treeline, there was no evidence of avalanches that happened or could happen, just 45cm of low density snow that rode incredibly.
