Scrambled Morrowmount today. Slopes were generally below threshold on the aspects we were on (south/west). Fierce west wind was moving a lot of snow and rapidly loading lee features. Wind slabs grew perhaps 10cm in just a couple hours, and were considerably more reactive on return. A few recent size 1s were noted on high lee slopes.
