Skied the North facing bowl from the summit of Log Cabin. Cement in most areas with pockets of wind pressed powder here and there. Wind picked up significantly in the afternoon and reactive wind slabs were present throughout the alpine. Temps stayed cool and no impact from solar observed until at lower elevations near treeline. Some soft snow and large cornices lurk in the north faces still.
