	Hasn't voted	Thanks! I was planning on hitting up De Moisy Peak and Strawberry Peak in addition to Ogden and Allen, however the weather on the ridge got bad, with about 50 feet of visibility. I ended up heading back down, however it was great to at least hit up two great peaks!

	Voted 10/10	Was it windy? The whole ridge from Allen to Strawberry has to be one of the windiest places I've been.

	Hasn't voted	When I hit the ridge just after 9 a.m., there were little gusts here and there, and from that point up over Ogden to Allen it was almost calm, then it started clouding up and the winds kicked in pretty strong. By the time I left Allen, back up over Ogden and down the other side, the gusts were probably 35 to 40 mph. Sandblasted with snow crystals, for sure. Seems like when the cloud cover hit is when all the wind came.

	Hasn't voted	Thanks! Managed to snowshoe up from the bottom of Snowbasin early, one day before they shut down the lifts for the season. Got up to the ridge before the lifts started running and made a fun traverse over to Allen Peak, then back over Ogden and back down. Got a lot of odd looks from the skiers while I was snowshoeing it back to the truck.
