Quick report
- Cracking
- isolated
Spent the day touring around the area above Downing Mountain Lodge, all in terrain less than 30 degrees. The primary observation was significant and widespread wind transport all day, leading to increasingly stiff wind-affected snow extending well down from the ridgeline on most aspects . While skinning, we got some small shooting cracks through the new hard windboard, cutting slabs maybe 6 inches deep. We did not observe any natural avalanche activity.
