New Years Eve in Nordstrom!

Today we did some sled skiing in the Nordstrom area North of Sparwood. We spent some time digging around in the snow and dug profiles in a couple of spots. One on an east aspect at 2240m and another a little lower on a southeast-facing slope. We identified both the Dec 21 and Dec 08 Mfcr layers but had no significant test results. The snow was decent for our ski down on a sheltered slope. Temperatures were around -6 in the alpine and winds were light from the SW. The last storm really helped with coverage in this area that is typically fairly shallow. Average snowpack depths from 70 - 120cm We have our fingers crossed for the next storm.
