Comments
Very wind affected terrain in the Bullmoose/Mt Spieker area today. Skinned up the W side of Spieker to 1400 m on the atv trail.
Observed several instances of whumphing in sheltered areas. Dug a quick pit, snowpack is very consolidated and right side up. No observable signs of avalanches on any aspect or elevation.
