Explored up cornice ridge in some really funky wind affected conditions. Down in the trees had facets on top of 2 melt freeze crusts, then up in the alpine was a mix of impenetrable wind slab, sastrugi, crusts, powder pockets, and everything in between. A few good powder turns on west facing trees lower down the ridge into mystic. Made for a adventurous day, and still more fun than expected!
