Moderate

The winds certainly did tell the story today. Moderate to strong winds easily transported snow from the Christmas storm all but stripping it over the past few days from most south and west facing terrain and clearly loading the leeward sides. Occasionally there was a break in the storm and one could see clean crisp transition lines in the snow from windward to leeward slopes. Finding wind sheltered terrain was the name of the game for avoiding wind slab and ensuring you go home with all your digits. We were able to observe wind loading throughout the creek beds and terrain features lower in the drainage where the winds were fierce enough to scour the slopes, but certainly enough to whirl it around.
