- <p>The wind has wreaked havoc on the snow in the La Sals and as we approached timberline we encountered small windslabs that were sliding on a hard wind buff layer from our windstorm last Sunday. I would guess that there are some larger wind slabs up higher in the alpine that are reactive right now.</p>
Snow is still shallow. Can see the dust layer from the windstorm last Sunday before the most recent storm
The snow is actually pretty fun where there isn't big rocks.

- <p>Even keeping it to mellow terrain we encountered some small reactive windslabs today.</p>
There was still plenty of soft snow to be had in areas that had some sheltering from the wind during the last storm. The snowpack is still very thin (40-60cm), but is quite supportable and right side up.
