General Observations
Obs from Mumfords today. Near treeline the SE winds were blowing enough to transport snow and cause some wind loading on terrain features. Freshly loaded snow was tender and easy to trigger shooting cracks about 10cm deep. In wind affected areas, also found 80cm-thick wind slab (1F hard) sitting over a 5cm-thick weak layer (fist-hard). Not encouraging for stability.
