Moderate to strong south winds all day from ridgetop all the way to valley bottom in 5 Mile Creek. Observed some cracking in storm slab but no avalanche activity other than sluffing of storm snow. Lots of wind transport in the burn area (W aspect) and the storm slab was getting noticeable stiffer over the course of the day.
