Skied both sides of Kokanee ridge in excellent boot top powder. Anywhere exposed had wind effect and deep drifts. We had poor visibility so stuck to the trees. Suspect with steady moderate winds through the day, that new slabs were forming in alpine and treeline lee terrain. The surface snow certainly showed some cracking anywhere the wind was blowing and drifting the new snow.
