Comments
Extreme winds from the west south west provided snow transport on a strong MF crust. We avoided overhead hazard and ridge top by skiing in the trees. Good skiing was found with no reactivity on the crust.
Obvious signs of recent avalanche activity including several crown lines in existing paths indicating the step down to deeper layers.
