Today we rode at the Microwave. The strong outflow winds over the previous days have made hard wind slab at treeline and above, making for difficult riding conditions. Sheltered areas at treeline still hold some non wind affected snow that made for fun riding. We observed cracking in the windslab while riding that prompted us to stay away from larger terrain features that have been scoured by the wind. We observed no new avalanches.
