Mostly clear skies allowed us to see the widespread wind damage from the Friday/Saturday storm. The alpine has been absolutely hammered, but sheltered features at and below treeline have up to 25 cm of tasty pow. Dug a hole in a rather flat treeline feature at 2000 m, but couldn't get Jan 18/19 to preform. Feels like Moderate hazard in the alpine and treeline where it's probably possible to trigger a wind slab in complex/gnarly terrain, but she feels low below treeline. We rode as such, leaving nothing but tracks and laughs from creek to peak.
