The snow is adding up out there and the winds at treeline are 60km+ with 80k gusts and is consistently pushing snow, stripping windward aspects down to a melt freeze crust and loading the leeward aspects with over one foot of fresh wind driven snow in the leeward aspects. Snow is cracking as a result of winds and creating soft slab and hard slab size 1 activity. Snow is not slowing nor are winds, expect hazard in terms of wind slab to remain a factor into tomorow.
