Good day skiing the Connaught Path from Lookout. The final 200m had wind slabs developing on the up track. Just before the top I was jumping around on inconsequential convexities (SE aspect) and managed to get a 15cm slab to pop. Dropped into the bowl on the north with good snow that got better as we moved down into more sheltered terrain.
