Quick Observation

See my other post from the same day at Nadahini. After triggering class 1, 1+ Slab on 30 to 35 degree convex slopes there, I decided to skin up the small mountain directly opposite the three guardsmen which is almost all less than 30 degrees. Because of the White out conditions, I liked this small hill because there were no threatening start zones above me that I couldn't see in the fog. This hill, unlike Nadahini, despite it being the same day, was very windy (SW @ approx 15-25 kmh) and very wind affected. Snow conditions varied from dry powder to hard icy wind-affected snow and transitions and rolls were difficult to see in the flat light. Some sastrugi was visible. The ski down was ok, obviously challenging due to flat light and variable quality wind affected snow. No further witnessed slabs or shooting cracks.
