Our group generally avoided open ALP features due to widespread windslab creating heinous ski conditions. FL 1400m on 200120 resulting in poor ski conditions BTL. Best quality snow was sheltered TL (1500-1700m). TP @1570m showed a generally right-side up snowpack with no significant results in CT. SH down 98cm unreactive in DT test. No new avalanches or signs of instability over the course of 4 days (200120-200123). Numerous glide cracks visible in the area. Wednesday night had strong winds and precipitation that, coupled with warm temperatures, created a 1F windslab on top of the old snow. If heading into the area, watch for the reactivity of this new layer in the ALP/TL.
