Wind in the trees

<p>We spent the day tree skiing between 1550m and 2330m, the wind was Mod from the west all day gusting to strong and increasing in the pm. Moderate snow transport in open areas. There was old faceted wind slab down to 1700m in the burnt trees. The snow pack is mainly faceted with multiple crusts in the top 60cm. We skied north, east and south aspects all of which were good skiing. We did not see any new avalanches or have any signs of instability where we skied. The peaks were obscure by cloud but I suspect there was cornice growth and looking across the valley there was multiple fetches stripped to rock from the recent winds. </p>
