Skied the S aspect after checking out the NE aspect. NE aspect had whumpfing and sluffing skinning up at 30-35 degree at treeline with wind slabs easily felt under new snow, kinda shocked with the extended column test result taken on the S aspect, that early December weak persistent layer was easy to find.
