Skied the shield and little feat chutlettes. Snow did not seem overly touchy booting up but when I made ski cut a good slab of snow slid and propagated a few hundred feet. Wind slab has built up in the south/southeast chutes (to be expected with wind patterns of late.) Very touchy but predictable snow all the way back to the car by Alta lodge.
