April 14, 2022 Comeau to Blue Lks alpine conditions were overall covered with a 5cm freshly wind deposited soft slab reactive to skier traffic, gliding over the most recent windslab, which is about 40cm thick overlying the buried crust surface below. Observed only 1 natural 0.5 soft slab in action with boot top crown thickness originating at a convex roll, triggered by constant wind loading on northerly ridgetop elevation. Approaching storm generated on average 30km/hr wind in PM with strong gusts up to 50-70km/hr. Great overall travel condition up & down, no ski crampons needed, from ridge top to lower blue lks elevation. No whumphing, settlements, or shoot cracks observed, just the 5cm of sluff management on steep slopes as well as un-ran start zones to be cautious of.
