Tour around Brockton Point. Consistent heavy snowfall, light and fluffy above 1100m and noticeably heavier below that. Winds scouring and depositing snow on exposed ridges. Trail conditions poor. Needs another storm or two to cover the rocks/twigs/microspiker divots. New snow (~10-15cm around noon) didn’t seem to be bonding well to last week’s ~10cm rain crust. Saw several shooting cracks, experienced difficult side-hill skinning, and remotely triggered the collapse of a wind-drift (pictured).
