Quick report

Cracking
specific

As we reached west face of crown point on summer trail the wind slab was cracking 10m out on trail breaking 35+ slope angle at 20cm thick so we turned back towards BBB and found runs at lower angle where the snow wasn’t consolidated. Our uptracks were getting flattened and filled by the time we went back up for a second lap down in a bowl where transport wasn’t obviously happening like it is on ridge. Wind loading on all aspects.
