North aspects were getting loaded from the the SW winds which by my field calculations were in the moderate range. Sensitive shallow wind slabs on test slopes are always great to poke, and gain a better understanding of just how sensitive newely formed wind slabs can be. What's interesting though is that I couldn't see any snow moving off of higher peaks in the background such as Clayton's.
