<p>Spent the day skiing near the Shannon Creek headwaters. Moderate SW winds near ridge top with moderate snow transport. We suspected storm slabs in lee terrain at TL and wide spread in the alpine. Skied W and SW terrain at TL and BTL. Ski cutting produced no results. Several parties we bumped into reported a reactive storm slab in the alpine. </p>
