Wind Loading, Cracking
Elevation
3200 m

A lot of evidence of wind during during the storm.

Crust at interface of old snow/storm snow.

Layin' down the fresh 'roy.

Biggest hazard today were wind slabs on lee of the predominantly NW winds. I would imagine these will settle out by tomorrow for the most part.

Solar affect will be the biggest concern tomorrow as well as being on the look out for wind slabs that formed yesterday and today.

Snowpack

10"-16" light/medium density new storm snow. Wind affect varied with elevation and aspect. Brief periods of sun were enough to dampen the snow snow surface.
