It was a whiteout kind of day with heavy snows with foggy periods which made the light very flat. Winds were out of the NWW, light with gusty conditions on ridge lines. Lot of snow transport with wind slab deposits and lots of wind pillows on ridge lines. No signs of any avalanches but visibility was poor most of the day.
