I remember that the NWAC prediction for avalanche danger this day was only a 2. But that's a good lesson that you can't always trust the prediction completely. Just the western facing slope around the lake were wind loaded and bad. Next time I see those kind of conditions I will make the decision to turn around even sooner.
