We rode groundhog west after riding the east side in the morning. As soon as we got to the sub alpine wind drifting was very evident. Small slabs on leeward slopes were easily triggered by sled and also remotely. 10cm to 30cm slabs were sliding very easily. Due to the weather conditions we were not able to access the alpine for further observations.
