Light snow in the morning, heavy snow and strong winds increasing throughout the day, full blizzard on the way out aprox. 5:30pm, wind drifting and new snow covered our snowmobile tracks by end of day.
Test slope indicators: 8600ft, East aspect - super touchy windslab at upper elevations shooting and cracking in front of sled, found a safe spot to break cornices/see windslab in photos, CTE to basal facets - very poor result was spooky to see, HS: 135-145 , we avoided avalanche terrain & stayed in long angle meadows - was deeep and fun!
