Comments
did a few quick laps off the sub peak of chester (lookers right of the col). shooting cracks most of the way up on variable snow. mostly wind affected with a slightly reactive wind slab layer that goes about 10cm deep. convex features and gullys wanted to slide but caution was taken to avoid these features(also near sparse trees deep cracks had been observed). ok riding conditions but some big cornices looked ready to pop on the overhead.
