Wind Loading

Overall the snow pack looked great, giving us no signs of danger throughout the day. Dug a pit on a small NE facing slope around 7000ft. Snow pack was right side up, showing no signs of a persistent layer, got to the ground around 4ft.

South facing snow warmed up throughout the day allowing some soft turns, powder in shaded areas skied great!

<p>Early signs of wind loading. With winds picking up from the west as this new storm blows in, would imagine seeing an increase of wind slabs on east facing aspects.</p> <p>Gusts became stronger around 1:00 pm, moving small amounts of snow. These amounts should increase over night. </p>
