- <p>with warmer temps and high angle sun, wind slabs will settle out quickly, but the same sun will activate east, then south, then west facing windloaded areas if significant heating occurs on Saturday</p>

got on NE facing early enough that first couple of runs were fluffy but steeper terrain you scrape down to the crust and things would get scratchy. by 10 am the sun had warmed up the new snow and it got more slabby and thick but still remained bonded to underlying crust. 2' drifts off ridgelines where wind had been busy would crack and no doubt you could have initiated wind slabs in extreme terrain as things warmed up, but no natural activity was seen with the exception of roller balls on eastern and southern steep terrain.
