Hudson Bay Alpine

Evidence of thin windslabs and a cornice fall, likely during high winds of the last 24-48 hr. Resulting avalanches were small.

The wind was moving snow in the alpine, but there is not much snow available for transport.

The alpine was pretty heavily wind-affected, especially at ridge crest and on open faces, with wind scoured features more common than wind-loaded. Protected alpine features had 10-20 cm of preserved powder, predominately lower down in the troughs. At TL and BTL, the skiing was incredible, with 30-40 cm of low density snow, unaffected by the wind.
