Observation

Description of Snow, Weather, and Avalanche Conditions:

We rode around angora ridge this afternoon. There was significant wind loading in gullies and sheltered areas along ridges. Some south/south west facing slopes were quite wind scoured and firm.

We did not see any avalanche activity. One wind loaded knoll had a big whumpf and tangible collapse as a friend rode past me.
