AST 2 Obs Hudson Bay Area

Short tour to Crater Lake Miller Ck areas, generally heavily wind affected surfaces, Moderate NE winds today with minimal transport observed - not much snow available for transport however. We were able ski cut a small steep test slope, that was freshly wind loaded, and had a stubborn release of a hard slab, size 1 on a southwest treeline aspect, avg 20cm thick failing in facetted sugar snow on the Late January crust.
