Wind Effect on Tallac

We observed lots of wind effect at all elevations on the way up to the N ridge of Tallac. Snow nados and strong midslope winds became more noticeable in the afternoon.
Windslabs aplenty, some reactive. Various hardnesses as well; from supportable windboard to soft "windskin" .
Lots of spatial variability amidst the swirling winds below the Ridgeline. A few seams of good soft snow between 8500 and 7500 feet. Gloppy wet n warm below that and consistently variable wind effect above.
Small cornices had formed on the ridge. We dug a pit below the ridge at 9k' NE and observed several CTMs and an ECTp9 all cleanly failing on the 12/13 rain crust.
