Skiing

GNFAC,
I skied up in Beehive today, we skied partway down into Bear Basin behind the prayer flags. There was a few inches for new snow and the skiing was good. We dug a snowpit before the steep section partway into Bear Basin. We found poor structure but no instability. We tried to ski farther down but once we got down another 100 vertical feet there wasn't enough snow to ski so we turned around. We found an old wind slab at mid elevation on our skin back up the steep section which gave us pause, these old stiff windslabs were present at the ridgeline as well. I have attached a copy of the snowpit below.
Thanks for everything you guys do!
