Spent the day in Bijoux where it was blowing! Strong westerlies were stripping windward slopes but not building wind slabs in typical locations. The air was dry so much of the snow was going back into the atmosphere and the rest was either getting redeposited low on the slopes or falling as slightly-packed, wind-sifted snow which rode quite well on the flats well below and away from the "lee slopes" above.
