Comments
Spent Feb 11-13 at Shangrila Cabin. Found expected wind affect in the alpine with evidence of the persistent north wind and some atypical loading zones. Riding was good in sheltered zones, but the summits of Sunset, Aberhart, and Lovat (Trowel) were wind stripped as expected and required boot packing. Noted one size 1.5-2 wind slab that appeared to have failed from a cornice trigger on a northeast aspect.
