Rode the Stonehenge area of Lumberton. The snow had been redistributed by wind filling in the old tracks. Our sleds were breaking wind slabs away from the surface of the snow of varying thickness of 5 to 15 cm. We rode 20 to 30 degree slopes and stayed away from steep slopes. Saw a recent natural storm slab on a steep rocky north east facing slope and large cornices.
