The wind yesterday did a number on the snowpack. All aspects and elevations were affected. The most noticeable problem was the large drifts that formed across the landscape. They were not touchy, but if one popped off, it would carry a lot of volume. The secondary problem caught me by surprise. We stopped and dug on a NE facing slope around 7,800 ft. - north of Texas Meadow. HS was roughly 150 cm's. The wind slab on the upper portion of the snowpack did not produce unstable test results but got 2 ECTP's on the basal facets.
