Observations

Skinned up the usual track for Maggie’s. Light fluffy snow below treeline but obvious drifts and scouring as you approach the ridge. Most of Maggie’s face was stripped bare with the light new snow being blown onto Maggie’s backside. Some folks had dropped in from the edge of Wrinkles to below the face without any signs of snow releasing. I made my way gingerly through the glades of Wrinkles where there was some thoroughly skiable snow. It was a bit wind-stiffened but otherwise very enjoyable. No sluffing or cracking.
