While traveling near gem lake we saw numerous small wind slabs on steep NE aspects and convexities about 8-12 inches in depth. The slide in the photo was probably couple days old, but its corners were still a little reactive.Photo:

Observations
We bailed from mo trees despite the low angle. It was the wrong aspect today, looked very wind loaded.
Also saw glide cracks forming near the base of chair peak on snow lake, and on steep S aspects above the summer trail to gem lake. Plenty of old loose wet as well, and cornice fall debris on the traverse out from source lake.
