Stopped at Parkers on the drive from Jasper to stretch the legs. Found a variety of wind effected snow surfaces from a newly formed breakable wind skin, to thin fresh wind slabs in immediate lee features above harder and more wide spread old windslabs over facets. We stuck to the mellower supported lines to avoid the potential for thin spot triggering this deeper weakness.
