Other Comments:
Widespread “whumphing” on Ward Mountain between 6300’ and 7000’…significant enough to induce dry heave tendencies. Snowpack on north aspects was not very supportive. Avoided E Camas NE ridge to mitigate exposure. Nice skiing conditions out Camas. Avoided steeper slopes and roll overs.
