Quick report

I approached up Shadow mountain and rode Four Hour Couloir. Lots of wind lips and cornices forming on ridge lines up high. I didn’t see any signs of movement on the south facing slopes, but lots of slides from the recent storm cycle on north facing slopes. Four Hour is filled in from the recent snowfall and wind. There was a light breeze with occasional gusts up to 20 while skinning up, bluebird skies, temps in the mid to upper 20s.
