Comments
We stayed away from consequential steep slopes but did continual test cuts on smaller low consequence steep slopes with no signs of instability, slab or loose snow avalanches. The wind slabs formed on N/NE facing slopes seemed to be more substantial than the storm slab problem. There was 300+ on a wind loaded NE facing (lee) slope at 2000m.
