Quick report
Mostly saw point release and tree bombs. I didn’t see or feel any signs of other instabilities, including wind loading. I saw a few hints of wind effect, but I was surprised at how minimal that was. Snow warmed up throughout the day as the sun came out. But in the shade, it stayed pretty cold and dry. This affected ski pen, which was about 10cm at my high point of 5000’ in more exposed terrain, and about 30cm in shaded terrain down lower. I didn’t dare attempt a boot pen test. My images wouldn’t load, sorry.
