Comments

Strong wind gusts and significant snow drifting in the alpine. 10 cm crown refilled in ~10-15 minutes (later in the afternoon). Noticed new sz 1 on east aspect at treeline just above the main mogul run to sherbrooke lake on the way out that we didn't see on the way in. Ski cut sz 1 wind slab in the couloir (north alpine aspect as forecasted).
