Quick Observation
It was a cold day on Mt Field with widespread wind effect. While wind slabs were present in the alpine, they remained largely unreactive. However, near treeline, wind slabs proved more sensitive to ski cuts, likely due to a layer of well-preserved surface hoar at that elevation. One slab, estimated at size 1.5 to 2, released at the entrance of a steeper gully and ran for roughly 200 meters downslope.
