Didn't notice a ton of wind affect. Storm snow seems rather incohesive and unreactive but sloughed easily off anything with a sun crust, which seems to be all aspects other than due north. Great powder skiing for April

Avalanche

Ski cut top of a steep pinch point in a long chute and the recent storm snow released on a prominent sun crust.
