<p>Travelled from Linderman Lake cabin to Log Cabin.
30 cms of heavy new snow sits on top of a facetted snowpack. Made for extremely difficult trailbreaking. Found sun crust on SE aspects BTL. No observations of avalanches, whumping, or shooting cracks in the terrain we travelled but we mostly travelled through open trees and stayed off steep slopes.
Travelling along the train tracks below Log Cabin - no signs of avalanches from the storm on Saturday/Sunday but there are wind scoured slopes in some places, cross loading in gulley's adjacent to the wind scoured slopes, and the entire mountain has a very smooth appearance which would indicate wind slab to me.
On the tracks there was 5-10 cms of snow that was not wind affected so there could be some sheltered areas in the trees where the wind did not affect the snow.</p>
