It was a wild morning in the mountains. Snow, wind, sprindrift, and shooting cracks on ever little slope you stepped on over 35 degrees. I skied up along side the lower 2/3 of Eight Ball with another large party, but everyone elected, wisely, to not continue up into the steep upper terrain. I am sure that it would have produced avalanches today, especially towards noon as the wind activity reached its peak. My partner and I ski cut several slopes and rollovers and they all produced shallow slabs, and this was in sheltered terrain. I can imagine that in exposed terrain the slab thickness would be many times greater. Not a good day to stick your neck out in high consequence terrain. Things cleared up in the afternoon, but with the volume of snow that was being transported, I would give the wind slabs another day to mellow out before tackling terrain of consequence. Avalanche hazard was HIGH today on all slopes steeper than 35 degrees a mid and upper elevations. It will be CONSIDERABLE tomorrow. Expect to find wind slabs everywhere.
