Quick report

Kicked off small wind pocket at top of "Silver twins" in Kendall Adventure Zone central. Sluff was enough to knock a skier off feet, but easy to manage. Did not entrain other snow and stopped at the first ease of angle after entrance. Approaching the Kendall adventure zone exit after skiing a couple laps on silver twins and main vain. Chutes, we noticed more wind Slab-like characteristics in the snow in isolated spots such as convex rollovers. Hand shear tests here showed a 20cm Slab but was only minorly cohesive. It would slide together as a piece but not easily and broke apart with more pushing. No cracking or other signs. The final pitch below top out to the KAZ exit col wasn't slabby. Otherwise noticed 0 signs of instabilities. Hand shear tests, jumping on test slopes, skiing big open slopes OVC-obscured all day with small, short breaks of sun. Light snow all day. Light to minimal wind and only some small signs of transport near ridge lines. No blowing snow or only very little for brief periods.
