As you can see from both the above and the top pic’s, Emotion sits
on the side of a ravine in a roughly nor-easterly orientation. We
often talk in the Mountain Conditions Forums about “Lee-Side Drifting”
that can occur during Snow storms and Emotion can get huge benefits
of natural snow deposits in that regard when there is a Snow event
with a wind component that ranges from Nor-East, all the way around
to the Westerly quadrants. Like all tree sheltered sectors, natural snow
fall retention is enhanced by the wind break effect the trees provide.
