Appeared to be little to no snow accumulation since Saturday report, however, high NE winds have caused considerable snow transportation. Winds were high in the alpine which led to cross loading and wind affected slab formation. On the approach before the notch whomping was heard on relatively flat terrain. On the glacier ridge between the two summits of Feather skier triggered a very small wind slab (north aspect, 20cm crown) which only traveled 5m, but indicated that wind slabs on steeper slope are present and likely developing due to high winds.
