Quiet day out in the Whistler backcountry. Some very unique wind features at ridge tops, kind of like mini spines in texture and very pronounced, never seen it like that before! I guess that's what 36 hours straight of 100km/h+ winds will do. Temps rose rapidly and we observed significant pin wheeling on steep south-facing slopes as well as some sizeable wet loose activity observed in the Spearhead range. North facing slopes had evidence of a large natural cycle from the previous day with very dense slabs (See photo). Cowboy skied like heavy slushy spring snow.
