Stayed on the north facing aspects of East Peak and Big White Mountain. Heavy wind blowing north to south. Very fine wind crust on the northern aspects. Stayed away from southern aspects due to wind loading and sun, although we did not check out this aspect to see if our predictions of the conditions were observable. We had some great snow on the northern aspects though, fine powder on top of good snow. Heavy wind on the ridge line between the two peaks made for some tiring skins up. Great day out.
