Skied prayer flags then poked my way up the dome. Skied SE to Pollywood. Noticeable wind affect across the valley, Winds felt moderate gusting strong mostly Northerly but squirly. Wind transport starting to create slabs down at treeline at the start of pollywood. In the alpine . Prayer flags a little wind pressed in the open trees. Wumpfing a long the ridge walk to the dome. Slabs ranging from soft 10cm to stiff and up to 50cm on aspects from SE to West. Ski triggered a size 1 WS on SE aspect of the dome ran on a crust down 50cm and about 20M across.
