Skied the Bonney glacier line. 1135m-2330m. Experienced about -15 throughout the day. There was very little surface wind on the glacier, but the winds were howling from the south at ridge top. We kept our distance from cornices because of these triggers. Probed about 260cm in the moraines to 320cm+ on the glacier. Skied some short steep rolls. Evidence of 5cm of 4F windslab over facets. Over these rolls snow reacted more like a loose dry, facets running, with little cracking of the slab. This will become more of a slab with forecasted winds and snow.
