Skelly

Skied to the peak North of Skelly Lake. Widespread wind effect upper treeline and above. We actively avoided wind loaded features. In some East facing features at upper treeline small 20cm deep pockets of wind slab were reactive over facets. Wind affected surfaces made for very fast travel in the alpine. Preserved snow is facetting and makes for good skiing in the trees. Moderate wind transport at ridgetop throughout the day. Further South in White Pass, Strong to Extreme wind transport could be seen with large plumes of snow being blown off mountaintops.
