Wind slabs ~10cm thick in Avalanche Crest moraines/bowl on approach to Avalanche Crest. Worked through clouds with no vis and stayed on mostly supported terrain. The slabs popped on S to SE to E aspects. No remotes they were triggered when setting skin track. No notable concerns BTL on approach. Ski down W face to highway was epic with good stability and a bummer skiing blind in the cloud haha. Great once below the cloud.
