Skied SE to NE aspects on Pulpit 4. Quick pits on E and NE aspects at ~2,200 m had Fist for the first 45-50cm (heck, even less dense then fist on the top), to 4F for the next 30cm. No cohesion on hand shears in that ~75cm top profile. Weather was warm, but below zero, with a mix of sun and cloud and gentle breeze from generally S, but depending on zone some swirling led to a pseudo N window. Snow was very low density so pretty slow even though not that cold. Sluffing readily on steep pitches. Lots of sluff point releases <= size 1 from the upper Pulpit mountain ridge visible.
