Really windy at the highway (from the west) but not in the trees or on Fraser Chutes up to 1400 m. At 1200 m started to get pockets of soft wind slab 10-15 cm thick in easy hand shear tests on certain micro-ridges with west facing aspects. But Fraser Chutes proper remained surprisingly not affected by wind. Temperature was -1 at the Scout camp parking lot at the end of the day.
