Skied a few runs from treeline at Bow Summit in the main area on east and north east facing slopes. Snow was falling all day with light to moderate south wind in open areas. Temps near -3. Dug a pit and found the bottom half of the 130 cm snowpack to be facets. Snow was soft in all sheltered areas but unsupportive snowpack made it hard to get great turns.
