Comments
Snowing all day, with rates up to S2 and averaging S1. Westerly winds were nuking on ridgelines, with sustained winds 20-30mph and gusts likely to 40, and obvious turbulent suspension (aerial wind transport) of snow. We did not observe any reactive wind slabs, but I have no doubt that they are present given the magnitude and duration of wind observed. Skies overcast with one or two patches of blue throughout the day. The pow was deep enough to make skiing quite difficult on lower angle slopes. All aspects skiied amazingly today.
