Parkers Ridge - wind & whumphs

snow.safety, Saturday 8th February, 2025 10:38PM

<p>Good skiing, with some moderate wind affect in open areas. We stuck to the depressions to minimize impacts with well hidden rocks! Notable whumping and cracking around treeline on the shaded slopes we travelled, and we were able to trigger small, obvious pockets of windslab in the small lee rolls we ventured into. Convex lee slopes sure did not look like the place to be, especially at treeline!</p>
