Comments
Saw some recent small windslabs today that looked to be about 3+ days old. We also had some limited cracking from our skis at ridge tops in wind loaded spots. The winds have been blowing from all directions lately so these slabs exist on all aspects above treeline. We found some decent turns in the lower alpine and treeline where the snow was less wind affected.
