Wind affect noticed mostly on due ridge with exposure to the east. Few small whumphs on isolated wind slab sections. For the most part dry, powder snow with little to no slab behaviour on a crust ~20-30 cms down. Skied both southwest and south faces. More wind was picking up in the afternoon and the temp was rising. Slabs could become more problematic and energetic in the future.
