Fraser chutes - Bench down

<p>Moderate to heavy winds began around noon blowing from the south west, NE slopes began experiencing some noticable loading throughout the day despite relatively light snowfall, at higher elevations some wind slab was beginning to form with blocks falling and some small cracks (10 cm max) forming around the tips of skis occasionally. Snow was quite light, but we started skiing lower trees later into the afternoon and avoided anything too steep (35°-40°+). Skiing quality was outstanding.</p>
