Quick report

Very snowy and windy day. About a foot of additional snow since we were nearby yesterday. Amazing riding conditions, although the new snow did obscure obstacles from view, but not from making contact with them. A broken a-arm ended our ride a little earlier than planned. 

Active wind loading throughout the day, so an unstable test slope was no surprise. It produced somewhat shallow results given the depth of wind loaded slopes, but on a bigger slope it would have been consequential.
