Zoa solo mission on the drive home to Vancouver turned out to be some of the best skiing of the season. I kept it mellow on the North side of Zoa towards the drainage for a couple laps. Observed small wind affect (10cm) on a ENE by the col. Triggered a size 1.0 just next to my tracks on my 2nd run (NE). It appeared to be the new storm snow (15-20cm crown, 5m across)
