Comments
Did a few laps along the S/SE slopes of Cornice Ridge and Buzz’s Ridge. Noticeable wind affect on ridgetop and significant blowing snow. Loading was observed in lee of ridge features, and this slab was forming to about 10cm depth. Small cracks extending from skis in places, but no major signs of reactivity. Skiing was average to poor on S facing slopes due to breakable crust probably formed last week. N facing slopes skied much better, but we stuck to mellow trees to avoid DP slab.
