- <p>Sensitive wind slab in exposed areas. See video below. This was soft slab on a southeast 35 deg. slope at 8100ft. While most of the wind has loaded north slopes there was still wind loaded slopes around the compass!</p> <p>Poor structure deep in the snow pack but with testing a could not get a failure. Worrisome all the same. </p>
Classic dry, cold, light powder on all aspects of the compass with the exception of some shallow wind slab in exposed areas.
