- Wind Loading, Poor Snowpack Structure
Traveled up the ridge to about 8200 feet before wind became to much. Skied north northwest low angle bit wind had scoured much of the area pretty skiable in spots but variable. Wind was really whipping up high and loading the Ben Lomond Williard Ridge. Wind from the west generally but swirling and variable.
