Final day of program and lucky to score some sunshine in the Blow Me Downs today. Stong-Extreme SW winds, but a widespread melt/freeze crust at surface kept wind transport down. Good coverage at valley bottom, lots of hard wind features but good overall coverage. Suspect ponds will deteriorate quick in the next couple days here. We did get to 500 m today, but the winds kept us off of the top. No avalanche problems to report on today, temperatures in the alpine did not get warm enough to break down the crust. We did observe one cornice triggered slab avalanche that we suspect was 24 to 48 hours old. Size 2, NE aspect. Still a lot of snow in the alpine throughout this area, and should hold up for sometime yet.
