General Observations

Winds ramped up from the northeast throughout the day at Crudbusters. Still good snow holding on the westerly aspects we skied but some tender windslabs building at the ridge tops. Most of the soft snow had blown away/turned to firm wind slab on north facing run skiing back to the truck in the evening. Lots of flagging from outflow winds off the peaks driving back through the pass towards Valdez.
