25 Jan - powder, fractures

Skied terrain to 35 degrees today, N, NW and NE aspects below tree line. Good deep powder, slight heavy. Sun or temperature crust on all aspects between 40 and 60cm deep between 1200 and 1500m. Some shooting cracks, and steep unsupported convex rolls were fracturing with small soft slab, sometimes 60cm deep, though no propagation across the slope. For now I am avoiding steep start zones and certainly avoiding triggers like convex rolls (I try to avoid them all the time any way). Great skiing, 1cm per hour most of the day light winds or calm. The mountains are talking, time to listen and pay attention. Please let me know if you see any slab avalanche activity of any size.
