Comments
Stupid deep up there today, there was not a lot of tracks until this afternoon - but we had sledheads slope testing all aspects and elevations with no results. I was very surprised with the recent storm and wind loading. HS at 2000m was 240m and variable with windloading. Upper pack very light density down to about 40-50cm and mid and lower pack seemed well bonded. Creeks are still very hollow so watch out for those! Moderate winds this afternoon from SW in the alpine to note for continued lee loading.
