Keeping it v mellow at tunnel creek. Great powder on N aspect of sunny side, but all S aspects contained a mix of hard crust, heavy wet snow and thin wind slab. Good to be out in the fresh air. Winds were gusting, alternating between SW and N/NE. Significant blowing snow with plumes visible on ridge top. Certainly some wind loading but the new snow is thin. Some evidence of recent wet loose slides.
