Bright sunny day on Incline Peak.There was a bit of wind at the parking lot but once we were on our way up, it was pretty calm until the ridge line where the wind picked up again. The snow on the top was wind blown and cornices had formed on the east facing ridge line before the peak. 

The snow above treeline was pretty wind scorn. Moving into the treeline, the snow was soft and further down in elevation, the snow became more unconsolidated. 

We skied the north and eastern facing aspect
