We went to Bell Mountain today to see how the recent winds have been affecting the storm snow. We found soft windslabs around 20cm deep that cracked under our skis along alpine ridge lines. We decided to take shelter from the strong southerly winds and moved down to some steep chutes at tree line. Here we found deep, bonded storm snow and some great skiing.
