Polaris Bowl wind loading

Toured from Red Lake lot to Cole Bowl, then east to Polaris Bowl. lots of whumphing while touring, but no shooting cracks. 

ski pen up to boot-top in some places, but the crust is still under that foot or so of snow, so boot pen was also boot top everywhere that i transitioned.

watched a team of snow-machine folks making great looking turns, nothing looked unstable or reactive, but wind was loading snow on every single north, northeast, and east aspect. although this wind-transported snow wasnt consolidated into a proper slab at noon today, if conditions persist this afternoon and tonight, folks might care to know about it.

despite watching the sled team get great runs i stepped it way back, in part because i was solo but also the red flags were enough for me.

pretty minor observations for my particular tour but there's a wind slab factory running with a good head of steam down there.
