Rode into Fairy Lake and skinned up the east shoulder of Naya Nuki. Winds went from strong to extreme out of the south in the early afternoon and were absolutely hammering. Despite the crazy winds, there was really no snow left to transport, so there was no active windloading. Wind surfaces were highly variable, from sastrugi to windboard to meltfreeze crusts to protected powder in the trees.

Saw no signs of instability or recent slab avalanches. We did see a good bit of wet loose activity that likely happened a couple days ago.
