Wind directions have ranged from the southwest to northwest, and speeds are strong enough to erode and drift some snow. Clues are an etched, hard snow surface where the winds have eroded snow and hard, rounded, hollow sounding drifts where snow has been deposited. With fast wind speeds, look for the new wind slabs, or drifts, at both upper and mid elevations. They will be on the lee sides of ridge crests and around terrain features, like gully walls, sub ridges and down into open bowls.
