The winds have really had their way with the snowpack above treeline where I traveled. You can most definitely find a structure that jives with a PSa problem, but variable and inconsistent coverage above treeline makes it hard to argue that distribution is anything other than isolated. That being said, on a large enough slope with good coverage, you could potentially trigger an avalanche large enough to be an issue.

Crystal Creek drainage south of Peak 10 in the Tenmile Range.

I started at the Spruce Creek TH and followed the road up past Francie's Cabin towards the Wheeler Trail. I essentially followed the Wheeler Trail to where it crosses the ridge east of Peak 10. I made snowpack observations on a northeast aspect before descending a south/southeast aspect and rejoining my route up.

The winds had battered the snowpack pretty good in the areas I traveled above treeline today. Hs at this elevation ranged from bare ground to drifts over a meter deep, with average depth probably around 50-60cm. On a northeast aspect above treeline I found a Pencil to 1Finger hard slab sitting over basal facets. Propagating failures with ECTs on the basal facets. The bright side of the recent winds up high is that this structure is likely isolated in distribution. South and southeast facing slopes above treeline showed evidence of the recent sun and warm temps, making for punchy and variable travel conditions. Near treeline these aspects have cooked down quite a bit--Hs around 30cm with a 10cm melt-freeze crust capping a faceted snowpack. Shadier aspects near treeline held cold, soft, and faceted snow.

SCT skies with light westerly winds for most of the day. Cool temps and sun made for comfortable travel conditions.
