Cohesive snow

I toured up to the East shoulder of divide to surf the 30 deg east facing slope

the wind was cooking for most of the day and each lap the skin track was covered in places

There was wind loading along the ridge 

the snow was pretty cohesive and wanted fracture and propagate but I was not surfing steep enough slopes for this to happen

On the way out a surfed over a steep roll over that fractured and slid 

it appeared to have slid on the new snow interface 

I would not have trusted any slopes that were getting loaded today
