Large windslab on 5 mile side. Dug a pit just below the ridge to check reactivity, see snowpack for results. Line from the ridge skied well with a little bit of sluffing but no other signs of instability. Took Goat Slide back down into the resort. Quite wind scoured on the top but some fresh lines to be had. Lower section is more tracked than Little Mucker.
Snowpack
