- Heavy Snowfall, Wind Loading, Collapsing
While touring along the ridge line around Abajo Peak we saw evidence of the fresh snow from Sunday morning storm. The strong winds that accompanied the storm had deposited snow into obvious wind slabs. While on low angle terrain, in the trees, we did feel small collapses. The snow was noticeably denser as we descended into the lower elevations of the woods east of North Creek Road.
