Quick Observation
Pretty much the whole corridor got completely wind hammered with the recent storm; glaciers are blue ice, ridges are rocky, lees are fat. 4 finger windslab in lee features, sometimes extending quite far and coupled with significant wind loading of these features. No cracking or whumphing, however, evidence of many large avalanches were visible today (some natural, some explosive triggered) and another party on Hilda had a very close call(see thier MIN). Despite all this doom and gloom we had a fantastic day out. Low angle Alpine depressions held 20-30cm of excellent soft snow and things were great in the trees allowing high quality to to bottom turns.
