- <p>Punishing winds. Soft and hard slabs of wind drifted snow easily found in usual and unusual areas. Drifts noted up to 3' deep; cracking extending out 35'. Not perfect loading winds but wouldn't be surprised to see some hard slab booby-trap pockets in odd terrain features. </p> <p>See video below; any significant stressor (Exhibit A: today's winds) can lead to step down avalanches or accentuate the sensitivity of these lingering avalanches on the Nov PWL; particularly in thinner snowpack areas. </p>
