Wind slabs around fairy lake

Snowshoeing

Snow shoed from the lower reaches of the fairy lake trail head to the lake today. Wind picked up mid morning moving a lot of loose snow around and had 1’ ground blizzards at times. Snow seemed to be pretty weak in most places I traveled creating hard conditions to snow shoe effectively off trail. I never dug a pit but in helping dig out a few snowmobiles the snow was mostly made of facets and inconsistent in structure.
