dry powder, surfy trees, minimal evidence of cohesive wind slab near tree line on N/NW aspects, minor sluff.
Nice photo - reminds me of some of my favorite moments on winter tours, arriving in high forests and onto sub-alpine ridges while the snow still clings to the trees.

We noted (today Jan 3) significant wind slab on exposed N-ish slopes above tree line, YMMV

E winds ramped up fast last week. In in situ we trust.
