Alpine boiler plate

<p>Quick morning lap. -30 at the car, calm. Wind effect commences once leaving the trees. Wind slabs were very stubborn and obvious. Cracks extended no more than 1m with excessive effort. 150m below ridge top, ski quality was OK with a brake-able wind crust, above was boiler plate.... No new naturals observed on this side of the microwave. Tree line and below had quality 30cm of fresh, light, faceted snow. Altogether a great day in the North West.</p>
