Still more or less the same conditions Yan reported a couple days ago, at least around the Dome. Widespread wind effected snow with a mix of hard and soft slabs. Soft slabs very deep in places (ski pen 50-60cms in lee areas climbing the Dome). Slabs are still reactive despite it having been a few days since the main wind event. Shooting cracks in areas on the way up the Dome and intentionally triggered a size 1 while working our way down steeper sparsely treed south facing terrain, variable depth of about 5-30cms across a roughly 10m width.
