Comments
Had a great day skiing in wind protected areas mid mountain (skiers right of usual lines), but noticed major wind slab on the return through high traffic areas. Massive areas whumpfed 100sq ft. Nothing moved but the action was unsettling for our party. Would advise caution on up track. Most of the mountain would appear to be wind hammered.
