Long walk back to ski a lovely treed corridor near Windy Pass. The morning had lots and lots of wind from the north making it quite cold up high with a good deal of transport and fresh wind effect, both on north and south aspects. Afternoon reversed the winds with warmer temps. Saw some healthy cornices and a massive old crown. Bit of cracking while skinning but no other signs of instability.
