Did a clockwise loop of southern faces of West Granite and Granite. 2cm wind crust over 6cm pow over early February crust at 5000'. Switched to booting for final 500' to Granite as buried crust wouldn't allow purchase with skis. Noticeable wind loading on ridge and leeward slopes. Ski cut a baby slab just below the summit on the ESE slope. 3cm thick max. Slope angle let's off over summer trail, but was still throwing rollers with every turn.
