Light winds. We generally stuck to low angle slopes given the variable nature and somewhat random location of wind slabs.

Found two suspect patches of snow in safe spots for a test cut, and produced small but touchy results on both. South and south east aspects, average crown depth 12", 15-20 ft wide, 5600-6300 ft. Both spots were far below ridge line, with one in a small treed field.
