Yesterday the winds were extremely strong - it was hard to tell if it was snowing or if it was just wind. The wind continued until around 8pm so there are a lot of snow drifts.
This morning it is calmer it is nice and clear with some blue sky. It should be a very good day to be out on the mountain.
