Wind Loading in Sheep Creek

Skiing

Short tour out to Ghost Trees today to start our trip. Very strong winds and cornice growth down low in the basin on N aspects. No shooting cracks, just funky wind skin distributed sporadically in the meadow/trees. Solar aspects had a stout melt freeze crust. 

Good skiing in non wind-affected snow. Recycled powder!
