windy and stable snow in Tallac

It was warm and calm at the base, but through the afternoon wind increased a lot and it seemed cooler. Temps were -8C on the ridge at 1400. Wind was gusty and moving a decent amount of snow. By my second lap, the ridge winds had increased even more. The summit ridge was clearly very windy and recent tracks on the N face had filled in. Snow quality in Corkscrew was good and well consolidated. I did see at least one small crown below the ridge of the bowl proper but it didn't look like it had gone far and it was mostly filled in again. Major props should be given to whoever put in the skintrack, which was one of the best routed and inclined I've ever found on Tallac.
