Small pockets here and there on ascent: early on road cut; east facing pitch below windy ridge (repeat offender) looked like it slid early in the cycle: just below windy ridge on the left a very small pocket on easterly tilt; the Skiers ahead of us triggered the east facing stuff past windy ridge…. looked big; all of the East facing stuff on the west side of the bowl slid. R1D1 remote trigger in little lady bowl; skiers right with easterly tilt. On lap 2 skin cracking snow on edge or road cut where road and down slope meet.
