The wind today was incredible. The small shift in direction from the usual SW to just due S had winds sweeping up the valleys and running amok. While the winds were southerly, wind transport was occuring almost all the way around the compass, with significant transport onto east and west facing slopes like Powder Park 3, the E side of The Cone, and West Willow. Dense wind drifts and cornices were forming in realtime and the skintrack was getting obliterated even in the lower, usually sheltered elevations.

As noted above, cornices are growing on E-W-N, some becoming large enough to be hazardous.
