Colder day on Parker’s ridge, lots of moderate to strong westerly winds and some new snow(up to 15cm on lee aspects at 2300m) by 11:30 with intermittent snow squalls. This continued throughout the day. Wind slabs were starting to form on NE aspects near ridge top. Northern aspects still lack a strong crust. Snow to the road on Parker’s, almost to the road on Athabasca/ Boundary. Very dry looking all the way to the toe of the sask glacier. Silverhorn still looks pretty icy and skyladder is non-existent.
