Skied Zola and into Monkey bowl today. About 10 cm of new very light snow up high. ESE aspects were freshly wind loaded with drifts up to 50 cm. This aspect was quite reactive and we ski cut multiple soft wind slabs up to size 1.5 on steep terrain, and found steep rolls below treeline to be surprisingly reactive as well. Crown of largest slide was 20 cm deep and 25 m across. Very little wind effect on WNW slopes in Monkey Bowl.
