Barrier knob sniw Went for a tour up barrier knob. From the stream to gertude saddle is unconsolidated powder, plenty enough to ski but still a fair few sharks. Along the ridge and slabs to barrier knob was heavily wind affected, with pockets of blower pow, windslab, and old snow ice patches. New snow seemed quite reactive, with sections up to about 1m square breaking off under me. Stuff all ice seen :(
