Quick Observation

Strong to extreme reverse loading on Teddy bear trees. Came out onto the open face below ridge top to find strong, upslope wind gusts and intense blowing snow. Surface snow was starting to form slabs so we transitioned quickly and chose mellow lines down to valley bottom. Within those 10 minutes between transition and the ski out , numerous wind slabs up to 25cm thick were being ski cut and remotely triggered on East facing steeper (30 degreeish) rolls. Propagations was width of feature. Windslabs were failing on 2-3mm rimmed, fist resistance stellars.
