We saw two fresh sz 1 loose-dry. Triggered at cliff bands on the SW aspect above the Observation Subpeak bowl (the gully located SE from peak, where I've dropped this pin) The same aspect had the smooth "pillowy" look of wind deposits and the gully bottom had a large wind lip pointing SW. My rookie guess is we're getting windloading by winds from the NE
Strong winds blowing NE across the highway. As a rough measure of load, 3 guys were skinning approximately 30 minutes ahead of us on the ridge and the drifts were enough to cover their track. Last photo shows typical weather for the afternoon
