<p>Ski'd good snow on north aspect, a little heavier then normal for the region. No whumpfing, a little cracking in the top 10 to 15cms. Dug a quick pit, 60cms sitting on top of rounding facets. No signs of storm slab, however dry loose in steeper aspects. Stuck to ~28 - 30 degree slopes with a couple short 35 degree bits. Fatmap is awesome for finding slope angle before heading out. Temperature remained below -2c. </p>
