Our travels took us to Currant Creek Peak today via Nobletts trailhead for some weather station work, and of course along the way snuck in some quality control testing.
The wind had its way with much of the exposed terrain at mid to upper elevations, leaving dense wind slabs and west faceing aspects stripped in its path. That being said, with the impressive amount of snow and water that the range has been getting, things are white and the riding conditions are in pretty good shape.
We found creamy turns on the south half of the compass, in protected terrain around 9,500 feet, out of the wind zone. Almost anything that the wind got at is either completely stripped, or has formed dense wind-drits and punchy surface conditions.
