Yes, IsolatedObservations
Incredible wind loading & drifts on the route from Tilly Jane hut to Cooper Spur. We were in 3-5ft of soft cold powder above the hut… Lots of wind drifted areas. We were able to break them with human force (jumping up and down).
It seemed like all of the snow was coming up the valley from the south and depositing in the flats.
