Mt McKnight
Date
Activity
Skiing
This morning we went to go check out the new snow at the west face of Mt Mcknight. From the summit, we saw widespread natural wind slabs on N-NE eastern slopes in the Northern Absarokas (photo). Winds increased throughout the morning, and evidence of wind transport became more apparent at higher elevations. We found that on aspects unaffected by wind loading, the new snow layer was not cohesive and only saw minor sluffing.
