Went up to Nrc Col and then into herdmans after opting out of skiing the banana couloir. Ski quality was ok in the true couloir but absolutely heinous in the bowl below. Widespread wind effect in the alpine. We found small pockets of windslab but the slabs were unreactive and faceted out. They would just break off in small cookies and didn’t want to propagate.
