- <p>Whumph whumph whumph all day as we broke trail off the main white pine road. Some with obvious shooting cracks. </p>
Some of the upper elevation windward slopes have been hit pretty hard by recent winds. Below is east facing terrain in white pine and a shooting crack from a north facing wind loaded slope at 9900'
Snowpack
Some wind board/ crust above treeline. Down lower we found more cohesive wind slabs. Plenty of graupel. Solars were heating up with some natural roller balls. Still early season. Sharks are lurking. We also found a few stumps and plenty of bushes.
