- Wind Loading, Cracking, Collapsing, Poor Snowpack Structure
Toured up laurel highway, lots of cracking (p1), a couple good collapses, Noriegas? (p2) and TukNo (p3) stripped pretty good. I was surprised that even in the trees on the way down there was alot of wind effect, basically all the way to the bottom. Kinda mediocre riding sadly. I was on the N/NW facing riders left side and got cracking midway down the slope in the trees. (p5). Didn't see any avalanches however.
