Rode down the NW side of East Peak (back of Gem side), there was significant wind loading, which made for good powder. But my partner heard soft whumpfing in wind effected trees and felt the wind effect under the skis. There was also some sluff management required. Overall it was a great day however we exercised caution to manage the conditions.
