Followed previous days up-track to low shoulder of Microdot then continued to top of nose bleed, forecasters route from day before had been filled in by wind. Jumped around on the small cornice at top or N side, got fresh wind slab to break but old snow held. No visibility on N side, quick pit mid slope on S side where we eventually skied, slope angle 34 at steepest. Good fun pow. Overall Good travel conditions in specific locations.
