Started my tour around 0845 after listening to some high winds and thunder last night. Trailhead was in the upper 20s this morning and wind was blowing hard at all elevations. Snow was falling steadily till around 1100 when the skies started to break. Winds remained strong but continued to die down throughout the day. Looking at the trees, there is around a 1/4" of rime from winds out of the west. On the ground, there was a mix of snow and graupel. All this is to say that this storm had some strong winds and was warm. Got lots of big collapses and some cracking in the trees on the way up. Skiing was decent and didn't get any collapsing or cracking (possibly due to the skier compaction). There seemed to be around 6" of new, light snow in most places. W and SW facing slopes were a mix of wind loaded and wind scoured based on local terrain. Lots of wind loading on E and NE facing slopes. New Snow didn't seem to create a soft/storm slab. I'd be more concerned about sluffing and small wet loose avalanches in select areas.
