Wind affected in exposed areas above 1700m. Mixture of thin breakable wind crust and pockets of slightly dense creamy pow. Blower in wind sheltered terrain below 1800m. Trees are still very thin. Thin coverage in windward aspects viewed across the valley (Cowboy, some pockets of grass still sticking out, talus just below ridge top).
