Another incredible day at Kootenay pass. We did two laps on the south side of lightning strike, and one down the north facing saddle of lightning strike. As for instability, we generally did not encounter any on our ski lines. We did set off some very small slabs on one slope which was south west facing, steep, and rocky. We also noted some natural sloughing on some very steep slopes. Definitely some new cornice formation and plenty of wind affected snow to be found on ridge tops.
