Ursus trees Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday: significant wind transport everywhere. Snow at parking lot was humid, Snow dried out by Grizzly apron. Some rime crust on sides of the Connaught trail until the turn to Ursus. Strong gusts at top of Ursus trees. No observed instability but viz was variable. Wednesday: almost no wind except at top (but still less than Tuesday). Snow quality was lighter, more uniformly distributed. Heard some very loud avi in the valley. Poor viz so no specifics aside from it not being Frequent Flyer. Some slough but no other instability observed.
