What a difference a day makes – all that low density snow that Mark Klassen reported has now seen an increase in humidity and rising freezing levels as well as strong winds at treeline and Alpine – in other words things were much slabbier out there. There were two skier triggered size 2 slabs off the north side of
Even though the snow was slabby it didn’t react to skiers in moderate terrain – I steered clear of any convex features.
Also of note is all this wind has formed some fairly large cornices for this early in the season.
Snowing again this evening in Revelstoke – borderline rain.
