Found reactive wind slabs on smaller slopes with overhead hazard in mind. Our east facing dig feature at 200 m provided 150 cm of snow. Good coverage, and good skiing in this mellow terrain. We noted one cornice triggered avalanche on a higher east facing slope, with lots of evidence of loading in these lee alpine features. 0° by noon, would expect a natural avalanche cycle if things warm up as forecasted with the first real dose of rain.
