Observation

Description of Snow, Weather, and Avalanche Conditions:

Toured on Tamarack and Houghton today. Winds were blowing consistently from the SW and clouds were moving fast. Small pockets of wind deposited snow were present on the open E, NE and N slopes of Tamarack over 9k. Isolated pockets showed potential for wind slab development in the future (picture 2). Skied and intentionally loaded some of the wind deposited snow, could not get the slopes to react (picture 3).

Stable wind deposited snow.
