ski cutting wind slab

<p>We travelled up to Summit Weather station to get it working again, and found deep trail breaking (60 cm) that became heavy and "upside down" as we entered more wind affected terrain. We used small and low angle terrain to gain the ridge and clean off summit. On the way down we travelled through some of the steep side walls that drain down to the bryant lake access road, we found easy to trigger windslabs even as low as 1000m. We skied over small test slopes and had an easy time causing small avalanches. We avoided large, steep, convex slopes as we assumed the problem would be there as well. </p>
