Strong northwest winds have cross loaded the upper elevations of Bonkers and Twin Peaks. Windslabs breaking above the Diving Board sent snow down one of the gullies which caused the entire upper portion of the run to pull out. Slab broke on the new/old snow layer. The old layer was hard and smooth, no graupel was seen, but could have been carried down in the slide. Slide ran full track and entrained much of the snow from the past storm. Additional windslab pullout occurred skiers right in Bonkers but only ran 200 ft. No cracking or collapsing was observed during the break up Bonkers, but I stopped well short of the saddle because of the increasing slope angle and how the top portion was wind affected. Cold temps killed my camera, no photos this time.
