Comments
Decided to bail on a higher consequence objective today around Mackenzie Peak. Moderate to strong northeasterly winds changed the landscape a bit pressing and redistributing loose surface snow creating small wind slabs in exposed alpine terrain. A few size 1 slabs were reactive to skier triggering - some stiff enough to knock you off your feet. Great skiing in sheltered treeline terrain and below.
