Decided to poke our noses into the alpine today. Went up onto Fraser ridge and skied a series of lower angle planar ramps off the ridge top. Seemed to be substantial wind effect in the alpine but did not seem reactive on south faces. There was a cornice fall on similar aspects within the last few days. This did not trigger any deeper layers we could see. Skied a se aspect in Fraser chutes and convexities were still reactive Cornice fall and reactive convexities photos attached
