Comments
We were on Treeline and alpine slopes in the SE, NW, W and S aspects and all had significant and reactive wind slabs. (Thunder-bowl saddle, Emotional Blackmail, No Dogs, Prayer Flags) Some areas were very touchy. Alpine objectives were mostly squashed once we evaluated how touchy these slabs were. Despite choosing conservative alpine and treeline terrain we still kicked off some decent size 1’s that propagated the length of the feature they were on. Still blowing strong from the North East, still observing wind transport in that direction. BTL is blower pow 😍
