Great, cold day skiing around Paddy's Peak. Conditions were very variable, with deep powder down low in the trees, to super hard wind affected snow. We did find reactive wind slabs on our way up, but nothing seemed to be propagating. An ECT test didn't yield any results, but we did notice some layer movement on the buried hoar frost layers. Pit was on a NNE aspect, 35° slope at 1120m. Snow depth was 150cm
