Moderate NW winds with alpine high -5. Winds in the Bow Summit area kept the snow dryer over the last couple days than the Pulpits. Didn't find much sun crust but lots of wind affect in the alpine. Found short pitches of good snow on the lower south slopes of Observation subpeak and NE trees of Crystal ridge. Had a look at skiing the north glacier of observation subpeak but looked too cold and dark and the top was wind hammered probably would have been good lower down.
