Wind picked up aggressively in the afternoon and significant snow transport was burying our tracks quickly. Small convex features in treeline were being loaded and reacted easily to ski cut and jumps. Went in with optimistic alpine skiing expectations but dailed them back. Multiple large whumps in treeline around 1050m.
