Bananas and backpacks don't mix.

<p>Checked out the Wesach area today. We encountered strong winds and blowing snow in the alpine. There was spindrift blowing around and new windslabs were being created. The snow on the north aspects had a thin wind slab crust that skied reasonably well. In the super sheltered alpine there were pockets of cold preserved low density snow but they were few and far between. </p>
