Quick report

Cracking
isolated

Many wind slabs on many different aspects. Most slides were on the suncrust layer on facing SW to SE After this NE facing any we played on lower slope with deep pow. Keep it chill in these parts, many snowflakes are yet to fall. :) Also saw a D2+ wind slab way off in the distance that wrapped around from E to SW The entire slope ripped as far as we could see with monocular.... No picture sorry
