Sheltered powder

We skied the east aspect of log cabin. It is heavily wind affected at 1200m and higher with wind slabs mostly everywhere. We stayed within tree line where we find some good pockets of powder. We did not notice any signs of instability when cutting a few 30 cm² x 1m blocks with a ski pole on a variety of slope angle between 30 and 35 degrees. I was even surprised at the amount of force required to get them to move. Up to tree line, foot penetration was 20cm on average. Temperatures at the highway warmed from -25 at 1045 to -11 at 1600 On the drive we did notice a multiple areas that had recent (1-2 days) point release
