Quick report

Wind slabs all over the place, some rather thick and dense, but none were reactive to our weight on any slopes we traveled on, including some very loaded steep test slopes.

For the most part, the wind slabs generally didn't seem too sensitive to a skier's weight, but I'm sure there are places one could get a slab to rip, potentially a big one.
