Extreme NE winds the previous night have left their mark on the whole valley. We found heavy wind affected powder in the upper S facing 10 Mile Glades. Good skiing, great coverage, windy. Soft wind slab formation in open areas within the forest, Did not reach Ridgetop, but suspected reactive wind slab in those south facing alpine start zones. No instabilities found in protected areas from the wind. 10 mile pond was mostly stripped of snow, leaving less desirable travel conditions, and exposed slob. Where snow still remained on the pond, frequent snow drifts slowed travel. No new avalanches observed.
