Layers of Wind Slabs

We skied to the east face in mostly calm conditions. Last night's 2" of new snow was not blown around. We could still see the crown of the natural avalanche that broke on Friday, 24 February. Skiing across wind drifts produced no cracking. We dug off the ridge on the east face near the first line down. HS was 215 and we got an ECTN 11 at 195 cm. With a load of new or windblown snow this layer could propagate, but not today. The snowpack consisted of multiple layers of wind slab which was not surprising given the location.
