Comments

Strong NW wind and intense wind transport at ridgetop all day. Alpine scoured on most aspects with isolated pockets of windslab observed in cross-loaded terrain, loading mostly low in paths. Windslabs observed in sparsly treed areas at valley bottom. Minimal cracking with skier traffic. Ski quality: low.
