Storming crazy hard in Spieker today, with gusts over 80 km/hr and visibly sometimes below 10 meters. Not much of the snow managed to stick around but what did was forming pretty touchy thin slabs in the mellow areas we rode. We couldn’t see really much of anything but expected any kind of wind loaded slope to be highly reactive based on what we saw. Snowpack was 75 cm, with 8 cm storm snow over 30 cm pretty consolidated older snow, over about 40 cm of big facets to ground.
