<p>Most of the wind loading happened yesterday, but there were some light to moderate winds that were finding some snow to blow around.</p>

Just a couple of photos showing the winds that have worked across Double Hill.

Instability Comment
<p>Did not see any recent wind loading avalanches today, but much of Double Hill was a textured landscape from the strong winds. I would think some of the wind slabs are still reactive to a person, but these should be settling out.</p>

Yesterday's strong winds worked a lot of the exposed terrain, but there is some nice dense settled snow in sheltered areas that did not get the wind.  Some of the south facing slopes developed a heat crust from the warmer temperatures yesterday.
