Dense wind affected snow in the upper layer of new snow on south aspects. In most places the wind slab was 4-10cm thick, although at ridge top and in other isolated pockets the new wind slab was 20-40cm thick. It seemed clear that the highest PI overnight came with no wind and was actually surprisingly light, but in the early morning when the snow stopped, the winds picked up and the temps began to warm a bit, there was a very noticable effect in the upper layer of the southerly aspect slopes. When we skied at at noon, north still felt consistent and fairly well bonded to the old snow surface while souths were becoming increasingly touchy. I'm sure that if the clouds clear our and sun shows its head there'll be some action on south aspects.
