Wind!

Felt like getting up in the hills and seeing what the weather was doing.

Table Mountain/Bardini Canyon

Crossloaded slopes above Habeggers/South Fork. Note how dense slabs have formed on the right side of the little gullies.

Table Mountain across the way.

Winds were forming a significant cornice in this spot. Gusts were strong enough to put me on my knees a couple of times!

Wind ripples and muted sun on the "outside" slope.

Took one run "inside" the glades which was fair on dense, wind packed powder.
The rest of the descent was pretty poor.

Just being out in the intense winds was invigorating. Wouldn't want to be out there all day though!
