Observations

We skied the Kendall tree area up to about 5000’ on NW / due West aspects. Observed some wind loading and pockets of wind loaded areas directly below the ridge line on Eastern edge of the drainage. Easterly wind at ridge line was stronger than forecasted. Stayed in forested terrain where ski conditions were excellent.
