Skiers left of the fan had 5-10cm wind slabs following the ridge down, sitting on dense sheet below. Didn't seem reactive when tested however. Skiers right rode beautifully with 30cm+ light powder on top of supportive pack. Couloir itself had flushed itself through sloughing to leave supportive hard pack powder for the majority of the way, allowing for easy, quick boot packing, and great riding down. Cornice at the top is very much present.
