Blustery Conditions on Tamarack Peak

Blustery with mostly cloudy conditions and moderate SW winds on Tamarack Peak today.  Limited snow transport was observed throughout the day with scoured snow areas on windward terrain limiting the available snow for transport.  On small wind loaded test slopes, no cracking or failures occurred with ski kicks or cornice kicks.  Ski pen was minimal at 0-2'' with high density surface snow.  Cloud cover did decrease in the midday hours with some sun breaks.  As temperatures increased with these sun breaks some warming occurred but was limited to below 9000' and quickly went away as clouds and wind increased into the mid afternoon.  With some good views into neighboring terrain, no signs of recent avalanche activity was noted.
