Good skiing on SE aspects, mediocre skiing on S aspects and V. poor skiing indeed on N aspects in the KH slack today. Lots of wind slab in the alpine, which is overlying facets and little else in rocky areas at ridgetop. Ski cut a sz. 1 pocket of soft slab in an opening just below treeline on a small east facing convex roll on my way out at the end of the day.
