Surprising lack of MINs based on the skin track. Only skied the bottom third as didn’t want to hang it out there too much in -30 and in a party of two. Noted numerous loose dries on drive to parking lot. Skied well but definitely some bond issues on steep slopes with the new snow. Wind slabs noted (surprisingly) in southwest facing at ~1500 m. Skied out with about every layer on in the shade.
