Windslab reactivy

<p>Lots of wind reactivity on baldy. Group triggered 3 size ones on the way down, all remote triggers with no skiers involved in runout. All lee aspects, down slope and ridge tops had significant whumpfing and settling events throughout the day, becoming more dramatic through the day as it warmed. South aspect of lightning strike was less reactive, and lower angle but had become heavier in the later day. Our north aspect exit of lightning strike help fantastic skiing in protected trees, any large openings held variable snow ranging from unbreakable to dense wind slab. </p>
