We skied up to about 3000′ and skied some south-facing terrain. We found some small fresh wind slabs in steep southwest gullies that were reactive with ski cuts. We also noticed snow loading the north-facing start zones in Todd’s Bowl as well as Sunburst and the Pastoral area.

Small wind slabs (3-4" deep) were reactive in some steep loaded gullies.
Mostly cloudy, with some periods of sun filtering through. Winds were calm until around 2600', where we felt light to moderate southeasterly winds.

We did not dig any pits. But we did find reactive wind slabs in some cross-loaded gullies. I found stubborn older wind slabs difficult to shear in hand pits along the way. We decided not to poke into Todd's bowl because it was getting active wind loading through the day.

The glide crack above the Seattle Ridge uptrack looks like it has a dusting of snow on top of it. Fresh ski tracks just to the north on the Repeat Offender slide path. 02.15.2022
