Quick report

Cracking
isolated

The surface was large faceted bed surfaces through the Corner Pocket chute to enter First Bowl. Likely due to a bit warmer temps yesterday, the slough was mitigated but still a threat especially through the choke of corner pocket. Total HS was pretty shallow, less than ~60cm and that was all sloughing off, and ski cuts were going down to rock. Isolated pockets of consolidated wind slab existed on the easternmost facing aspects. We caused cracking in several places, creating ~15' diameter cookies to seperate, including down low above the creekbed below the road, but at each elevation this only only as we wrapped around the compass to nearly due-eastern facing terrain.
