Quick Observation
As expected there was a lot of wind affect in unprotected areas which created some very stiff wind slabs. Skiing them was no fun, and at the top of the ridge the wind created sastrugi. However, the wind slabs didn’t seem to be reactive at all and we didn’t hear any wumpfs even in the powder. The powder was very nice and soft in the trees, but it was quite short. Day was filled with wind, lots of flurries in and out and also some blue sky. Quite warm, -3 at the car.
