Ventured to the Asulkan Hut for a windy Sunday night.
Temps where at a steady -4 to -6 most of Sunday. Surface conditions
remained dry, fist snow in sheltered areas. By Sunday
afternoon the Moderate to Strong winds had scoured surfaces and formed slab in
open areas. Upside down (dense over soft snow), breakable hard and soft
slab.
Strong to Extreme winds howled all night and well into this morning, -1 at the
Asulkan Hut. Winds gusting well below Treeline, continued snow transport
filling in tracks with moist snow up to 20cm and counting.
No Naturals or skier triggered avalanche activity observed, made an early exit
while the weather raged on.
Many tree bombs(large snowballs that accumulate on tree branches) scattered
along the valley ski out. A coastal +0.5 and wet snow falling at 1cm./hour
at the parking lot.
Fells like anything and everything could happen.
