Wind Crust Galore

<p>Headed up with the goal of skiing acidophilus. The wind was strong and swirling from the start of our climb and once we made it to the ridge there were gusts that pushed us out of the skin track. We took a peek down into the trees and everything looked wind affected so we decided to just ski back down the tighter trees on the south end of white queen. There was a wind crust varying from ~0.2-3cm everywhere. Definitely a survival ski down, even once we got back into the resort terrain.</p>
