Wind AFFECTED in York!

The wind really hammered the York bowl last week. SW facing alpine slopes were stripped bare and where there was snow it was hard slab and sastrugi. Even at the tree line hard slab was present. Below 1800 meters the rain crust that formed after last week's storm is varied in thickness. We spent the day doing our monthly rescue practice and trying out some of our fire-starting gear in our emergency kit while we wait for some new snow.
