Quite windy today at Hilda in the parking and alpine, but the trees provided good shelter from the winds, mostly arriving from the south-west. Snowpack was very supportive for both skis and boots, with no instabilities noticed. Visibility was quite low in the alpine with lots of blowing snow (50+ kph), with a thin (<5cm), breakable, wind slab forming overtop. We topped out at 2450 meters but found the best skiing was below TL where the winds haven't created any slabs yet. The ski out is virtually rock free now, with a good variety of bullet proof snow and deep powder to keep it interesting
