Quick report

Cracking
isolated

Lots of wind affected snow above treeline/large open areas. Remarkably sunny with tree bombs. Windslabs were plentiful but not reactive. Some localized shooting cracks & reactivity occurred but only near our skin track. Hand pits showed somewhat poor bonding in wind affected areas on the pre-storm interface, however it seemed unreactive without isolation.
