We found wind slab pockets size 1, largest West through southwest. Winds slabs were immature but building quickly and started to be reactive. Slip and fall hazard is still a concern. Hardest slab we found all day was on the roof at the mountain center that was 1 finger hardness
Snowpack
In our snowpack test we found a developing wind slab on the surface then a sudden planar below the “hard crust” 30 cm down on a north aspect we had irregular breaks and resistant planar 70cm down at the February crust layer.
