Comments

Toured up Zupjok towards Lama. Turned back at the Lama col. Moderate to strong East winds were transporting powder to the west side of the ridges. East of ridge line was very firm and scoured. West accumulating and developing wind slabs. Shooting cracks witnessed. Lots of wind slabs development on west side of ridge.
