Comments
Skinned into the valley of Big Blue Drainage for an overnighter. Temps were cold with a strong, consistent NE wind probably between 50-70 km/hr over 36 hours. Snow transport was visible in the alpine. Temps below -30... but all are thermometers stopped working haha. Massive whomping and cracks on even the smallest wind loaded features. Skier remotely triggered a small 0.5 avalanche on a steep, windloaded shallow rocks in one the gullies while skinning
