Many steep cross-loaded features on this aspect dropping into the old caribou closure were not sliding naturally but releasing with very little load. Small supported slopes were popping the fresh wind slab very consistently without stepping down to the last heavy crust. Did not venture into larger more complex terrain as its pretty spooky atm.
