Comments

With the warm weather and strong winds watch for wind slabs on leeward slopes on convexs hills Very windy Snowing above 1400 meters. Hard crust on surface from rain two days ago. This new crust will be a concern with new snow loading. Did snow profile on 35 degree slope above 1500 meters on wind loaded ridge. HS
