Very strong winds from the west in the alpine today quickly loaded lee
slopes. We cut several small avalanches in steep rolls above 1400 m.
It was only -9 at 1400 m, but -13 at the lodge and 1000 m. There are
now numerous windslabs lurking in lee features. Skiing quality is
still very good in the trees, but wind affected in the alpine.
