Comments
-15, snow, and strong NW winds had us sticking to protected trails with easy retreat.
Extremely challenging visibility in open areas.
The area proved worthy for us in gathering higher elevation observations despite the weather. Extreme drifting, and new cornice formation and failure on small features. 10-20 cm new snow being blown around creating white out conditions. Lots of natural small cornice failure observed, and soft wind slab formation in lee features. All things leading to increased avalanche hazard.
Winter has really packed in heavy up here, amazing snowmobiling to be had in protective areas. Stay safe out there!
