While skiing Rescue Creek we experienced minor surface snow wind slabs in the alpine. Reactive windslab new snow to bed surface interface. No debris found from previous warm up. Breakable crust below 6200 ft. Variable conditions from boiler plate to soft snow. No surface hoar observed. Wind loaded ridges. Pit was doug on a North West Aspect at about 6800ft. No results from ECT. No signs of instability in test pit. All or nothing.
