<p>I was able to get some minor (4 inch) wind slabs to break on the ridges. Wet stuff visible on the south slopes in the afternoon. </p>

Photos:

1. Wind affects even in the forest

2. Wind loading at 6400ft in a typically protected area that I have not seen wind affected before.

3. Still some decent turns out there!

<p>Wind slab seems to be the main problem, but very stubborn. As seen in photo I saw wind loading in a "protected" area at 6400ft. </p>

Wind crust in all open areas, sun crust on most of the open slopes except north and northeast. Still nice turning in the wind sheltered areas, the lower the better.
