Comments
en route to wilson peak noticed this nice "wind cookie" that popped out on the swedish corner today or within the last 24 hrs.
there is wind effected snow visible all around this avalanche.
Also noted is a wet slide coming off the ridge on the south aspect of the gobblers to wilson ridge.
Comments
Cool on the north aspects and baking on the south. The wind has been active but spotty finding wind slab in places but not wide spread.
