Found some nice turns on the backside of Washington, 15-20cm on crust. Snow stayed cold and dry through early afternoon at higher elevations (above ~900m). Evident wind effect in open areas, with ridges and NW aspects completely scoured. Wind slab also noted on lee slopes (~E). Breezy and fast logging road exit with coverage down to ~750m.
