- Heavy Snowfall, Wind Loading
Broke uptrack to the summit, about 4 pm: large cournus were evident on uptrack with ongoing wind loading continues to make them potential for falling. The top was mostly a crust layer covered with some wind blown pow, some of the crust wasn't supportable. After getting down past the Antenna reflector, snow condition picked up and were good all the way to the bottom. Some steeper terrain that seemed like it could go held---alot of snow about 16 to 20 new and was Sluffing with the turns--very Sweet. I would think if winds die down should be really good again tomorrow.
