- <p>Wind blowing hard and transporting a lot of snow on the ridge between Beartrap and Willow. My skin track got covered by wind blown snow between laps on an exposed part of a West facing slope.</p> <p>Nasty frozen rain crust below about 8200 feet. Could this be a weak layer or bed surface under the new snow tonight and tomorrow?</p>
