Island Alpine Guides trip up Myra today. Moderate to strong south winds and poor visibility kept us at tree line and below. Moderate snowfall and the winds contributed to quickly developing 20-40cm thick windslab in immediate lee features that was reactive to skier traffic where the terrain was convex and unsupported. Avoided all big features in this treeline elevation band. Anywhere out of the ridge top wind had 20-30cm of low density powder over very supportive crust.
