We arrived at Longworth cabin yesterday afternoon. Strong winds and blowing snow made the midnight pee quite the adventure. Today we put in 3 laps. The higher elevation turns were still good in sheltered locations, the moist, heavy snow became very noticeable around 1500m. Wind slabs and scouring in all exposed areas. We saw 1 size 1 natural wind slab on a NW upper tree-lined feature. It looked like it ran sometime last night or this morning. Here till Thursday, crossing our fingers that the high temps won't get too high.
