<p>Winds created hard and soft slabs along the skyline ridge and down into lower elevation terrain. Even though cracking was observed it was difficult to get any snow to move in that spot.</p>

<p>Observed one natural slide due to wind loading at about 7700 ft elevation. </p>

A variety of wind crusts, soft and hard slabs were noted. Even sheltered terrain was effected by the wind albeit to a lesser degree.
