Southerly winds are wreaking havoc on the upper north-facing bowls. Neeley has been repeating naturally a few times in the past week. See photo for crowns on skiers left of Neeley.

Next two photos are the wind-stripped Duchesne ridge and a large pillowed wall of wind-deposited snow in a north bowl.
