Main Gully, GOS- 8-10cm low density atop mostly supportive wind board. Middle elevations had upside down snowpack. Penetrable by human near edges of previously built wind slabs. Upper elevations were stripped sastrugi. Oaks- large eastern facing cornices. Supportive wind board. Left gully: chalky sastrugi in the start zone, 4-6cm low density atop wind board down low. Lip: 10cm-100cm low density atop dense chalky wind board. Summit: dense iced rime covered most surfaces in all directions. Soft, moderately reactive wind slabs forming in southeast snow fields, 4-30cm thick. Not well bonded to rime beneath. Large amounts of wind transport observed. Great gulf: stubborn/chalky SE cornices. Upper elevations stripped wind board. Wind loaded middle elevations on eastern/ southeastern aspects w/ new low density snow. Cog: stripped by wind to Jacob’s ladder. 5-8cm low density on top.
